“We are thrilled to be collocating

receive medical, dental, mental health and care coordination services along
with their WIC benefits, all at the same location.”
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and
Children (WIC) provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support, prescriptions
for healthy food, health referrals and other services free of charge to
Colorado families who qualify. WIC’s goal is to help keep pregnant and
breastfeeding women and children under age 5 healthy.
WIC is for all kinds of families: married and single parents, working or
not working. If you are a father,
mother, grandparent, foster parent or other legal guardian of a child under 5,
you can apply for WIC. In Jefferson County, please call 303-271-5780 and join WIC
today.
We apologize for any inconvenience this move
may cause and will do our best to minimize any disruptions to services
provided. Stay tuned for any updates at jeffco.us/public-health.
