WIC Program
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, commonly known as the WIC program, serves to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children younger than 5 who are at nutrition risk. WIC provides supplemental food, nutrition education, and referrals to health care and other social services to low-income, nutritionally at-risk women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. 

Who can participate in the WIC Program? 
WIC is for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and post-partum women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. 

 
Income Eligible: Applicants must have income at or below 185 percent of the U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines, or be enrolled in TANF, SNAP, or Medicaid to qualify as adjunctively eligible. 


Nutrition Risk: Applicants are screened for 1) Medically-based risks such as anemia, underweight, smoking, maternal age, history of pregnancy complications, or poor pregnancy outcomes and 2) diet-based risks such as not consuming the U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommended amount of protein or iron in their diet. 

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
