WIC (Women, Infants and Children) is a nonprofit nutrition program assisting income eligible families. WIC provides healthy foods, iron-fortified infant formula, breastfeeding support, nutrition education, and referrals to other community programs.

WIC serves women who are breastfeeding, pregnant or postpartum, infants and children up to the age of five years old, including foster children.

Eligibility for the program is based on the participant’s household income level as well as their health or nutritional needs. Working, non-working and military families may be eligible.

Give us a call; you will be surprised who qualifies. You may qualify for this program if your income before taxes is less than or equal to: $2,392 gross monthly income for a household of 2; $3,631 gross monthly income for a household of 4; or $4,871 gross monthly income for a household of 6.
