Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program offers short term nutrition intervention to influence lifetime health eating in pregnant women and children up to age 5.

WIC provides:

  • A monthly food prescription of nutritious foods with various packages available

  • Nutrition education and services

  • Breastfeeding promotion and education

Persons who receive Medicaid or Food Stamp benefits automatically meet the income requirements for the WIC program.  Eligibility for all others is based on income, with a family of 4 being eligible with an income of $45,510 per year. If you are pregnant, recently had a baby, are breastfeeding or have a child younger than 5 years of age, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) could help you. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a short-term intervention program designed to influence lifetime nutrition and health behavior in high-risk populations. WIC is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture
