Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a vital nutrition assistance program serving Fruita, CO, dedicated to ensuring that pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children under the age of five receive the essential support they need for a healthy start. We provide access to nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and valuable education on breastfeeding and parenting.
