• An eWIC debit card to purchase free, healthy foods
• Personalized nutrition information
• Referrals to community services
• Breastfeeding support, including:
  • Breast pumps and supplies
  • Lactation experts and breastfeeding peer counselors
  • Support groups
  • Classes

Individuals must:

• Live in Colorado,
• Meet income guidelines, as defined below, and

  • Breastfeeding a baby aged 1 or younger
  • Pregnant within the past 6 months
  • Baby
  • Child under 5 years of age

If a household member is receiving Medicaid, TANF, SNAP or FDPIR (Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations), youth may be automatically income-eligible for WIC. If no one in the household participates in any of these programs, the household’s gross income (before taxes), must be at or below the amounts listed below. If the household income is slightly above the guidelines, contact a WIC clinic to discuss potential eligibility.
