WIC Nutrition Program Open to Many Incomes and Families

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, popularly known as WIC, is a nutrition program for pregnant, breastfeeding women, and families with children younger than five. WIC provides the support and inspiration to eat right, have a healthy pregnancy, breastfeed successfully, and raise amazing kids.

WIC helps you buy the foods that you and your children need to stay healthy. WIC foods are low in fat, high in fiber, help you get important nutrients, and promote a healthy weight. WIC helps you buy many of the healthy foods already on your grocery list such as milk, cheese, eggs, bread, and baby formula. Breastfeeding is the best way to feed your baby. Let WIC help you meet your breastfeeding goals with their trained lactation consultants. Breast pumps are also available at the clinic.

WIC is open to many incomes and families. If you are on Medicaid, TANF, or SNAP you meet the income eligibility guidelines for WIC. If you don’t qualify for these programs, you may still qualify for WIC by meeting the income guidelines for your household.
