Women, Infants and Children's Nutrition Program (WIC)

WIC is a special supplemental food program for pregnant, breastfeeding, and post-partum women, infants, and children under five years of age. WIC helps you and your baby get healthy foods and healthy advice in the first years of life.

Regular WIC Services Resume

We’re happy to let you know that WIC services are back to normal again now that the government shutdown is over. This means that all women, infants and children who qualify for WIC can get WIC services.

If you were on the waitlist, we will call you to set up an appointment. Thank you for being patient while our services were restricted. We’re here to help you and your family.

Need help or want to make an appointment? Call your local WIC clinic or our call center at 1-800-338-6747.
