The Official WIC program is available to low to moderate income pregnant women, recently delivered women, breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. Fathers can also bring their children to apply for WIC. You may apply for WIC if you are working or unemployed. Check the Income Guidelines Table to see if you are eligible for WIC. This website was created for women looking for WIC information and locations. We are also working towards adding other locations and services that may help out women.

WIC is a registered service mark of the U.S. Department of Agriculture for USDA's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. Even though WIC and SNAP belong to the federal program, it is still administrated by the state via local agencies. You should call the local SNAP or WIC to get the program and benefits. If you are a member of SNAP, then you must be eligible for WIC. Firstly, you can choose SNAP to apply for if you are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or postpartum. In general, both SNAP and WIC are available in the same areas. Basically, you can check the WIC location on the internet. For instance, you can visit WicStore.org to check WIC offices nearby. Or you can check it on USDA for reliable sources to check SNAP or WIC office locations. WicStore.org is not in any way associated with the Official WIC Program offered by the USDA.
