WIC is a nutrition education program that provides supplemental food to promote good health for pregnant and postpartum women, breastfeeding mothers, infants and children up to the age of five.
To Qualify for WIC
Income should be within the following guidelines:
Women who are:
- Pregnant: as soon as you know you are pregnant
- Breastfeeding: up to one year post-delivery
- Non-breastfeeding: up to 6 months post-delivery
- Infants and children: birth to 5 years
Working families are encouraged to apply!
Note: A pregnant woman counts as more than one family member. A person who currently receives Medicaid, food stamps, or Ohio Works First (OWF) automatically meets the income eligibility criteria for WIC.
Services Provided by WIC
WIC provides nutrition education; breastfeeding education and support; supplemental, highly nutritious foods such as cereal, eggs, milk, whole grain foods, fruits, vegetables, and iron-fortified infant formula; and referral to prenatal and pediatric healthcare and other maternal and child health and human service programs.
