Women Infants, Children

WIC is a special supplemental food program for Women, Infants, and Children to teach them the relationship between proper nutrition and health, to help individuals develop better dietary habits, and to prevent nutrition-related problems by showing participants how to use the WIC foods with other nutritious foods for a proper diet. WIC is available to all eligible participants without regard to race, color, natural origin, age, sex, or handicap.

Persons eligible for WIC include:

Pregnant Women
Breastfeeding mothers (up to one year after delivery)
Postpartum nonbreastfeeding mothers (up to six months after delivery)
Infants
Children under five years of age

WIC participants receive benefits, which can be redeemed for specified nutritious foods at designated grocery stores. WIC participants also receive nutrition education, nutrition counseling, and referrals to other health and social services.

ALL persons who receive Medicaid/Hoosier Healthwise, Food Stamps, and TANF are income-eligible for WIC.

To participate in the WIC program a person must meet the following conditions:
