Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Located in Usaf Academy, Colorado, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to promoting the health and nutrition of families during critical early years. This invaluable resource offers free access to nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and breastfeeding support, ensuring that pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under five, receive the essential care they need. WIC also provides educational resources on various topics, including healthy meal planning and managing picky eaters, while connecting families to vital services such as medical and dental care, health insurance, and housing support. To qualify for WIC, participants must reside in Colorado and meet specific income guidelines, with automatic eligibility for those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid. Foster children under five also qualify. Families interested in WIC benefits are encouraged to reach out to their local WIC clinic to begin their journey towards improved health and nutrition.
