Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Glenwood Springs, CO, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, by providing essential nutrition assistance. Our program offers a variety of free services, including access to nutritious groceries, personalized nutrition consultations, and valuable breastfeeding support. We also connect families with necessary resources that enhance their overall health, such as referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, and child care. WIC empowers families through comprehensive nutrition education, covering important topics like meal planning, managing picky eaters, and shopping on a budget. Eligibility is straightforward – if you live in Colorado, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a child under five years old, you may qualify based on family income criteria. Joining WIC is easy for those already receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, or Medicaid, as well as for foster children under five. For more information on how to apply for WIC benefits, we encourage you to reach out to your local WIC clinic.
