About this resource
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) aims to promote the well-being of income-eligible pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children under the age of five. It offers an eWIC debit card for purchasing nutritious foods, personalized nutrition guidance, referrals to community resources, and breastfeeding assistance, which includes access to breast pumps, lactation experts, peer counselors, support groups, and classes.
To initiate the process, individuals can schedule an appointment with a local clinic by visiting 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 ten days to determine eligibility and arrange an appointment.
