HOW DOES WIC WORK?

As a WIC applicant, you will contact the clinic in your community for a free visit to be enrolled and to pick up your EBT card. At the appointment, you’ll receive nutrition education and breastfeeding support, and learn about other services you can use to help your family.

The WIC checks can be used at local grocery stores for cereal, juice, milk, cheese, eggs, peanut butter, beans, whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat or corn tortillas, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, cheese and baby food.

BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING

  • Breastfeeding mothers are eligible to participate in WIC longer than non-breastfeeding mothers.

  • Mothers who give their babies only breastmilk receive a larger food package.

  • Mothers who breastfeed receive mother-to-mother support from peer counselors.

  • Breastfeeding mothers returning to work or school may receive a breast pump and support from lactation consultants.
