Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of families in Telluride, CO, by providing essential food assistance and nutrition support to pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five. This vital program offers personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding resources, and valuable referrals for healthcare, child care, and other supportive services, all at no cost to qualifying families. WIC aims to empower parents with nutrition education on topics such as meal planning, healthy weight management, and budgeting for groceries. Families with a household income that falls below WIC guidelines are encouraged to apply, including those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid, as they automatically qualify. By participating in WIC, families can ensure they have access to nutritious groceries and the knowledge they need to foster healthy growth and development in their young children.
