Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in La Junta, CO, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of 5 through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program. We provide vital food assistance, offering a selection of nutritious groceries and financial support to ensure families have access to healthy foods. Our program goes beyond just food by delivering personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding education, and referrals to medical and dental care, child care, and housing resources. WIC empowers families with knowledge through nutrition and health education on topics like meal planning and maintaining a healthy weight. To qualify for WIC services, you must reside in Colorado, be pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a child under 5, with eligibility determined by income guidelines. Foster children under 5 are also welcome to apply. Join us in fostering a healthier future for our community by reaching out to your local WIC clinic to apply for benefits.
