Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Monte Vista, CO, is a vital nutrition program dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five. Through WIC, families receive access to nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and essential breastfeeding support, all at no cost to those who qualify. Our program aims to empower local families by providing not only healthy food assistance but also valuable resources such as referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, and child care. We prioritize education on nutrition and health, covering topics like meal planning, healthy weight management, and budgeting for groceries. Families in Colorado can benefit from our services if they meet the eligibility criteria, which include being pregnant or breastfeeding, having a child under five, or being income-eligible. Automatic eligibility is granted for those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid, as well as for foster children.
