WIC

WIC provides free food assistance, nutrition education and breastfeeding support for pregnant women, new moms, babies, and children up to age five.  WIC is also a great source for information and referrals.

To qualify, families must live in Colorado, meet the income requirements and show proof of ID. Please call to see if you qualify.  Many working families qualify.  Families with a pregnant woman or infant on Colorado First (Medicaid) and/or SNAP (Food Stamps) automatically qualify.
