Request a Pre-Application Appointment with a WIC Specialist

To get started with the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program, you have to sign up for a meeting with a WIC specialist. 

Overview

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program (WIC) helps pregnant women, moms, and caregivers learn about good nutrition for their families to stay healthy. 

To sign up for the program, you can either fill out a form online to meet with a WIC specialist or call 1-800-942-9467 to contact a WIC office. They'll help you with any questions you have and schedule your appointment.

Eligibility

People who can apply for the WIC Program include: 

 

  • Pregnant women
  • Breastfeeding women or bottle-feeding women who recently had a baby
  • Infants up to 1 year of age
  • Children up to 5 years of age
  • A parent, foster parent, or legal guardian of a child up to age 5 may apply to receive WIC benefits for that child

You can use the WIC PreScreening Tool to see if you may be eligible for WIC.
