Welcome to WIC

An in-person WIC appointment is the first step. Your visits to our WIC clinics let us check you and your child's growth and health. It also helps us give your family the best resources and referrals.

Our in-person services include:

  • Weighing and measuring to ensure good growth and development
  • Checking blood levels related to iron
  • Providing nutrition counseling to you and your family's questions and concerns
  • Breastfeeding support
  • Nutrition classes and support groups (at some locations)
  • Providing personalized referrals to other programs and services

 

During your appointment, WIC will need to verify your identification, address, income, and pregnancy, if you are pregnant.

Watch for your appointment reminder that will give you more details about what is needed for your next visit.
