Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Ignacio, CO, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, through essential food assistance and support services. Our mission is to ensure that families have access to nutritious groceries and comprehensive nutrition education at no cost. WIC provides personalized consultations, breastfeeding resources, and financial assistance to supplement your grocery needs with healthy foods. We also offer valuable referrals to medical and dental care, housing assistance, and childcare services, ensuring holistic support for families. In addition, our educational programs cover important topics such as meal planning, healthy weight maintenance, and managing picky eaters. To qualify for WIC, participants must live in Colorado, meet income criteria, and either be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a child under five. Families receiving TANF, Food Stamps, or Medicaid automatically qualify for our program. We invite you to reach out to your local WIC clinic to apply for these vital benefits and support your family's health journey.
