WIC promotes healthy mothers, infants, and children by providing nutrition education and supplemental food to pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5. Participants must meet financial guidelines (click to view), and medical or nutritional risks. WIC provides breastfeeding support and resources for purchasing nutritious foods, such as formula, milk, cheese, eggs, fortified cereal, and peanut butter or dried beans or peas. Additional services include nutrition education, health counseling and immunizations. For details, click here to see the explanation at MDCH's website.
In order for the WIC staff to have your coupons and paperwork prepared, an appointment must be made for the clinic you wish to attend. Our usual office hours are 8-12 and 1-5pm. If routine office hours are difficult for you, ask the appointment scheduler about our late and early clinics. Most new WIC clients will be given an appointment at one of our main clinic locations in Stanton, Ithaca, or St. John’s. There are convenient locations available for future WIC visits.
