The WIC (Woman, Infants and Children) program provides nutrition education and weekly vouchers for nutritious foods for pregnant and nursing women and their infants and children up to five years of age. There is an income criteria and the participant must also be determined to be "at nutrition risk."

Once certified eligible by a nurse or nutritionist, participants are given appropriate nutrition and/or health education, food vouchers and any needed referrals for other services. Participants are rechecked every six months. Vouchers for WIC-approved foods, including formula, are picked up every one to three months (depending on the schedule agreed on with the WIC professional) and can be used at most grocery stores. An additional nutrition education event is provided in conjunction with the third month voucher pick-up. WIC is now offering brown rice and whole wheat bread.
Key Benefits:
Vouchers for nutritious, supplemental food, such as milk, eggs, cheese, cereal, and juice ,as well as formula for infants not breastfeeding.
Nutrition education.
Regular checks for participants who have problems and referrals as necessary.

The Official WIC program is available to low to moderate income pregnant women, recently delivered women, breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. Fathers can also bring their children to apply for WIC. You may apply for WIC if you are working or unemployed. Check the Income Guidelines Table to see if you are eligible for WIC. This website was created for women looking for WIC information and locations. We are also working towards adding other locations and services that may help out women.
