  • Breastfeeding information and educational handouts/videos/DVD’s
  • Private nursing area in the WIC office
  • Special breastfeeding baby scale to check baby’s weight during WIC visits
  • Breastfeeding Resource information for additional support

WIC provides participants nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to community services at no charge. WIC serves low-to-medium-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children (including foster children) up to age 5.
 
During the summer months, families receive funds to use at local farmers' markets for fresh produce.
