  • Description
  • Being pregnant or breastfeeding a baby is a big job. The Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) can help. The objective of the WIC Program is to prevent the occurrence of health problems and improve the health status of those served. The WIC Program can help pregnant, breastfeeding or post-partum women, infants, and children in low income or no income families. WIC will provide, at no cost, nutritious foods to supplement their diet, information on healthy eating and referrals for health care. WIC provides benefits for these participants during critical times of growth and development. WIC teaches them how to choose and prepare nutritious and affordable foods. An applicant must qualify financially and nutritionally to receive WIC benefits. In order to determine eligibility, the applicant must provide proof of income and have a gross income within the income guidelines set by the USDA. Medical referral forms are available at the WIC office for completion by the medical facility. If medical information is not available from a medical facility, the applicant's height, weight, and blood-work will be completed at the WIC office at the time of the appointment.
