About this resource
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is designed to promote the well-being of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, along with infants and children under the age of 5. Participants receive an eWIC debit card for purchasing nutritious foods, personalized nutrition guidance, referrals to community services, and breastfeeding assistance, which includes access to breast pumps, lactation experts, peer counselors, support groups, and classes.
To apply, individuals can schedule an appointment at their nearest clinic by visiting the link: coloradowic.gov/find-wic-clinic. Alternatively, they can fill out an online referral form at healthinformatics.dphe.state.co.us/WICSignUp. A WIC representative will reach out within 10 days to determine eligibility and arrange an appointment.
