Office Information: Apply or ask for a closer WIC location to your home.
To apply for WIC, just call a local WIC office and make an appointment.
At the appointment, the client will be weighed, measured, and have an
iron screening. The client will then speak with a nutritionist for
suggestions on eating healthy and will be given any referrals that they
may need. The nutritionist will provide a food prescription along with
checks for healthy foods. Fathers, grandparents, and foster parents can
also apply for WIC to receive supplemental nutrition benefits for
infants and children who are five years old or younger in their care.
If the appointment is for a child, the child will have to go to the
appointment with the parent or guardian. At this time, the child will be
screened for iron in the blood and growth development.
