Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

In Parachute, Colorado, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to supporting the health and nutritional needs of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five. This essential nutrition program offers complimentary services that include access to nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and breastfeeding support to ensure families thrive. Beyond food assistance, WIC connects participants with vital resources such as health and dental care, financial aid for healthy food purchases, and education on nutrition and meal planning. Families can benefit from expert guidance on topics like maintaining a healthy weight and managing picky eaters, all tailored to help make nutritious choices more accessible. WIC serves families in Colorado who meet specific income guidelines, and automatic eligibility is granted to those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a young child, WIC is here to help you access the support you need for a healthier family.
