Services: WIC is a special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children sponsored by the USDA. WIC helps pregnant women, mothers, infants (newborn to 1 year old) and young children (less than 5 years old) stay healthy and eat right during times of important growth. Our mission is to work with communities to provide nutrition and health information, resources, and support to encourage choices for healthy living. Assessments are done to determine a nutrition risk such as anemia, low iron, or a diet with too many or not enough nutrients. Applicants must qualify based on income, residency and nutritional risk.
