Click here to find out about WIC job openings

WIC Supplementary Food Program is a nutrition program that helps pregnant women, new mothers, and young children eat well, learn about nutrition, and stay healthy. WIC helps pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women. We also help children younger than five years of age.

We provide nutrition and health education, healthy food, and referrals free of charge. Much of our referral information and education is available here, online. To get started, use the links at left to navigate through our WIC information and resources. You can also start a WIC application, finding new recipes, learn how to use your WIC

vouchers, or simply learn more about the program. 

WIC provides: checks that can be used to purchase healthy foods such as milk, juice, eggs, cheese, cereal, dry beans and peas, or peanut butter; information about nutrition and health to help you and your family eat well and be healthy; support and information about breastfeeding your baby, help in finding health care and other community services; and breast pumps to support breastfeeding mothers
