Who is WIC For?

WIC welcomes all families! Whether you're a mother, father, foster parent, grandparent, or legal guardian of a child under five years old, you can apply for the program. WIC is specifically designed for:

- Women who are pregnant, recently had a baby, or are breastfeeding (up to one year after delivery)

- Infants and children up to age five

Participants must reside in Pennsylvania, meet income guidelines, and be at some level of nutritional risk.

What Does WIC Offer?

WIC is a short-term intervention program aimed at influencing lifetime nutrition and health behaviors. Here are some of the invaluable services offered:

1. Health Screenings: Free health screenings are provided to all participants to determine nutritional risk. This encompasses any diet, growth, or medical issues that might impact nutritional status.

2. Healthy Foods: WIC offers a variety of nutritious foods at no cost, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, soy options, canned beans, and jarred infant foods. These foods are designed to be lower in fat and higher in fiber, catering to both participant and cultural preferences.

3. Nutrition Education: WIC provides education on healthy food choices, portion control, weaning, introducing solid foods, the importance of iron in the diet, and managing picky eaters.

4. Breastfeeding Support: WIC promotes breastfeeding as the optimal method of infant feeding. Our clinics offer the services of breastfeeding peer counselors, many of whom are certified breastfeeding counselors and supervised by a registered dietitian.

5. Referrals to Community Services: The WIC staff will assist you with referrals to other community services that may benefit your family.
