We have lactation consultants (IBCLCs) and breastfeeding peer counselors to help you on your breastfeeding journey.
Am I eligible for WIC?
WIC is for women and birthing people who are currently pregnant, recently pregnant, or breastfeeding, and babies and kids under 5 that meet the income guidelines. Moms, dads, foster parents, and anyone else raising kids under 5 can apply for the kids in their care.
Do I qualify for WIC?
If you currently participate in SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, Essential Plan, or Head Start/Early Head Start, you may automatically qualify for WIC.
WIC does not require US citizenship, social security number, or a green card to receive benefits. There are other ways to qualify for WIC, too, if you meet the income limits.
