Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a vital nutrition assistance program based in Wheat Ridge, CO, dedicated to supporting the health of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five. WIC provides essential services at no cost to qualifying Colorado families, including nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding support, and valuable educational resources. Participants gain access to financial assistance for healthy food options, along with referrals to medical and dental care, health insurance, child care, and housing services. With a focus on practical nutrition education covering topics like meal planning, managing picky eaters, and breastfeeding while working, WIC empowers families to thrive. To join the program, ensure you reside in Colorado, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a child under five, and meet the income guidelines; those receiving other assistance like Food Stamps or Medicaid automatically qualify. We invite you to reach out to your local WIC clinic to apply and explore the resources available to you and your family.
