WIC
Get Support Through the WIC Program
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides free nutrition services to support the health of pregnant women, new moms, infants, and young children (up to age five).
When you join WIC, you’ll receive:
Personalized nutrition education
Breastfeeding support, including access to a Peer Counselor by text or phone
Referrals to health care, food assistance, and other community services
Nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables, milk, cheese, eggs, cereal, and dried beans or peanut butter—customized to meet your or your child’s specific needs
Breastfeeding is encouraged as the first food for babies, and WIC is here to help every step of the way.
Who Qualifies?
WIC eligibility is based on income, and many families qualify, including:
