WIC provides healthy foods, nutrition information, breastfeeding education and support and referrals to other health care resources. They have a breastfeeding peer counselor to help during pregnancy and as long as you are breastfeeding.

You might be working, a student, single or married and still qualify for WIC.

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.
