About this resource

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) aims to promote the well-being of eligible pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children under the age of 5. The program offers an eWIC debit card for purchasing nutritious foods, tailored nutrition guidance, referrals to community resources, and breastfeeding support, which includes breast pumps, supplies, lactation specialists, peer counseling, and support groups.

To apply, individuals can schedule an appointment with a local clinic through 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 assist in scheduling an appointment.
