Colorado WIC Office

The Colorado WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program is handled by the Department of Public Health & Environment. This state agency can help you with questions or issues with WIC including how to apply, what is required to be eligible for Colorado WIC benefits or if you need to schedule an appointment. If you will be meeting with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, we suggest you verify what documents you should bring with you to make sure they have all the information they need to help determine your eligibility. This page provides the Colorado WIC office number and office hours.

The Colorado WIC program aims to assist low-income and nutritionally at risk women who are pregnant, women who are currently breastfeeding (up to infant's 1st birthday), nonbreastfeeding postpartum women (up to 6 months after the birth of an infant or after pregnancy ends), infants (up to 1st birthday) and children up to their fifth birthday. Benefits that are provided to participants through the Colorado WIC program includes supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, counseling at WIC clinics, screening and referrals for other health reasons, welfare and social services.

If you are planning to move out of state, Colorado WIC participants can still receive their benefits until the certification period expires as long as there is proof that they received WIC benefits in Colorado. Before you move, it is recommended that you contact the local WIC office. In most cases, the state agency will provide you with a special card that proves you participated in the Colorado WIC Program. When you have moved, the next step would be to call the WIC office in the state you moved to and schedule an appointment. Make sure to bring the special card to your appointment to show proof you received benefits from the Colorado WIC program.

Do I need an appointment to apply at the Colorado WIC office near me?

In order to enroll in the Colorado WIC program, you need to first make a certification appointment. During this meeting, representatives at your local WIC office will determine if you qualify for benefits. Since this is the first step in the process, it is important that you make and attend your appointment. When you come in to speak with a worker, make sure you have your child or infant with you. Also, be sure to bring his or her immunization records. Additionally, have the following items with you when you come to the office to apply for WIC:

  • Original identification documents for each of your family members. Examples of suitable forms of ID include your driver’s license, birth certificate, Social Security card or Medicaid card.
  • Proof of address. WIC eligibility requirements indicate that you must be a CO resident to receive benefits in the state. You can prove you satisfy this requirement by bringing your utility bill, pieces of government mail or your lease.
  • Earnings statements. You need to show WIC office employees how much your household earns. Bring proof of paychecks from your employer, tax documents or your Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) eligibility documentation.

Can I receive food vouchers from the WIC office in Colorado?

If you receive WIC in CO, many different services become available to you. One of the most notable benefits is the monthly financial assistance you can receive to buy approved groceries. If you qualify for WIC, you will be awarded an eWIC card. This card works like a debit card, and you can use it at certain grocery stores and markets. All of your available funds and purchases are recorded on the card so it is simple for you to keep track of your remaining benefits each month.
