In Gunnison, CO, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to providing essential food assistance and nutritional support for eligible families, particularly for pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of 5. Our mission is to enhance the health and well-being of our community by offering nutritious groceries at no cost, personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding guidance, and vital referrals to medical, dental, and childcare services. Participants receive enriching health education on topics like meal planning, healthy weight management, caring for infants, and budgeting for food. To join WIC, families must reside in Colorado, have a qualifying income, and meet specific eligibility criteria, including those receiving TANF, Food Stamps, or Medicaid, who are automatically considered WIC eligible. We invite you to reach out to your local WIC clinic to apply and begin accessing these invaluable resources.
