Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in La Junta, CO, is dedicated to empowering families by providing essential food assistance and health support for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children under the age of five. Our comprehensive nutrition program offers free nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding support, and health education, ensuring families receive the resources they need to thrive. WIC facilitates access to financial aid for healthy food, alongside vital referrals for medical care, child care, and housing assistance. We believe every child deserves a healthy start, which is why our services include guidance on meal planning, managing picky eaters, and tips for balancing work and breastfeeding. Eligible participants must be residents of Colorado with an income that meets WIC requirements, including those already receiving TANF, Food Stamps, or Medicaid. Foster children under five are automatically eligible. We invite qualifying families to reach out to their local WIC clinic to access these valuable services.
