What is WIC?

Healthy food is an important part of growing healthy babies, and WIC is here to help! WIC is the federally funded Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. WIC helps families by providing nutrition education, increasing access to healthy foods, and making referrals to healthcare and community services. 

Getting Started

Once you have been approved for WIC, our agency staff will ask you questions about your nutritional needs, give you information, provide an eWIC card that you can use at grocery stores, offer breastfeeding support if you need it, and link you to other services in the community.

Please call to make an Appointment:

You can also fill out the form (below) and we will return your request in 1-2 business days!

Make sure to give your provider your correct telephone number and address. Once your referral is complete, you will be notified. Referrals may take approximately one week to process and complete.
