WIC Services

 

At Family Health Center, we believe that strong families begin with strong support. That’s why we proudly offer WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) services to help eligible families access the nutrition, education, and resources they need during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood.

WIC is a federally funded program that provides healthy foods, nutrition counseling, breastfeeding support, and referrals to additional services—all at no cost to those who qualify.

​

Who WIC Helps:

• Pregnant women

• New mothers (up to 6 months postpartum, or 1 year if breastfeeding)

• Infants and children up to age 5

 

What WIC Provides:

• Monthly benefits for nutritious foods like baby formula, milk, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

• Personalized nutrition education and counseling

• Breastfeeding support and supplies

• Health screenings and growth monitoring

• Referrals to healthcare, social services, and other community programs

​

Breastfeeding

WIC provides a special breastfeeding education and support program to help you make informed choices about how to feed your baby. This program includes: 

• Breastfeeding aids and devices

• Prenatal classes and support groups

• Peer counseling support

• Consultation with a Certified Lactation Counselor or IBCLC

​

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs

If you need help to stop using alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs, talk to one of our WIC nutritionists, health care providers, or social workers.

 

WIC can work best for you if you: 

•  Keep your appointments. If you cannot keep your appointment, please call our WIC office to reschedule.

• Take your eWIC card with you to purchase your WIC foods and know your card's PIN. 

• Take your WIC Food Guide and Shopping List with you to shop for your WIC foods.

• Make sure you are shopping at a WIC-authorized store or pharmacy.

• Make sure your WIC clinic has your correct address and phone number.

• Notify your local WIC clinic if you plan to move so your WIC benefits can be transferred to your new location. 

​

Our caring WIC team is here to guide you through every step—from checking your eligibility to making the most of your benefits. We’re here to listen, support, and empower you to give your family the healthiest start possible.
