WIC Works Wonders!

For Women

Women in the WIC Program eat better and have healthier babies.


For Infants

Infants born to WIC mothers weigh more and grow and develop better.

For Children

Children on WIC eat foods with more iron and vitamin C, which helps them develop strong minds and bodies.

WIC participants enjoy benefits such as:

  • Nutrition education 
  • Breastfeeding Support
  • Free healthy food 
  • Referral to other health and social agencies 

If you are eligible, you will receive nutrition information, referrals to other services, and checks to buy foods such as:

  • milk

  • 100% fruit and/or vegetable juice
  • peanut butter
  • cheese
  • eggs
