Here for you! Women Infants and Children WIC is here for you!

Friendly and helpful! Our WIC staff care about you! We live in your community. We are well-trained! We help you learn more about healthy food, breastfeeding, pregnancy, babies, and children.

From the community Most of the people who work at our WIC centers live nearby. Some started as WIC moms. They began learning more about heath and nutrition when they came to WIC. They appreciated how the WIC program helped them, and wanted to work for WIC.

Training and education The staff at your WIC center know a lot about pregnant women, mothers, babies and children. They are well-trained in the areas of pregnancy, breastfeeding, nutrition, healthy foods, shots and parenting. They can help you keep your family healthy!
