WIC
WIC will now be offering late evening Monday hours and early morning Friday hours to better accomodate working families. Please call 746-1700 if you would like to utilize these hours. An appointment is required for these extended hours.
What is WIC? WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children. WIC saves you money on your food budget. WIC gives you or your child food checks every month. WIC foods/infant formula supplement what you buy for your family. WIC shows you how to be healthier and eat more healthy foods. They help you and your family find medical care, and you can learn about other services in your community that might benefit you.
Who may apply? Pregnant women, non-breastfeeding mothers of babies up to six months after the baby is born, breastfeeding mothers up to one year after the baby is born, babies and children under five years old.
