Thank you for checking in with us every week to learn more about WIC!

WIC is a free program for pregnant women, new moms, babies, and children under 5, including families being cared for by grandparents, foster parents, or other guardians. It provides nutritious foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and a real team of people in your corner at every step.

If you think WIC could help you and your family, or you're not sure yet. Send us a message or call and we will help you.

Know someone who could use this? A friend who just had a baby, a family member who's pregnant, or a grandparent raising little ones? Share this post, it might be exactly what they needed to see today.
