Applying for WIC

  1. Start your application online or over the phone.
    If you apply online, a team member from your local WIC office will contact you to set up an appointment. They will tell you all the information needed to determine your eligibility which typically includes proof of your address, benefits programs, income and identification. 
    Apply Online
  2. Attend your WIC appointment 
    Your appointment includes a visit with a nutrition expert to answer any questions you may have about health, nutrition or breastfeeding. Due to COVID-19, WIC has modified procedures to keep you safe and virtual or phone counseling is available. WIC team members may call you before your appointment to provide nutrition counseling and check your eligibility before you come in.
