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.
Substitute infant formula: On July 9, 2024 a tornado hit a Mead Johnson distribution center. Due to this tornado, MS WIC will temporarily provide substitutions for 12.9 oz containers of Enfamil AR if you are unable to find sufficient quantities on store shelves. Contact your local WIC clinic for more information.
