What Is WIC?

Women, Infants, and Children is a supplemental nutrition program which provides services to pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to the age of 5.

It is based on nutritional risk and income eligibility. Services that are provided

included health screening, risk assessment, nutrition education, breastfeeding

education & counseling, and referrals for health care. In Missouri WIC agencies

provide services locally to over 144,000 women, infants, and children each month.

Bring documentation of where you live. Examples include a utility bill, a postmarked piece of mail addressed to you at your address, your lease or a rent receipt from your landlord, a bank statement, bank book, checkbook, your driver license or other ID card.

Bring identity for everyone who will be on the WIC program. Examples include a driver’s license, birth certificate, immunization record, or other photo ID card.

If you are having problems bringing any of the above information call the WIC clinic. All information shared with WIC is confidential.
