Women, Infant, and Children

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

WIC is a supplemental nutrition program that provides nutrition education, counseling, and healthy foods to help low-income mothers, infants, and children get the nutrients they need for proper growth and development.

WIC also provides breastfeeding education and support, along with screening and referrals to other health or social services. WIC is a Federal Grant Program funded by the Food and Nutrition Services of the USDA. WIC is not an entitlement program.


You could be eligible for WIC if you:

  • are pregnant
  • are breastfeeding (up to 12 months after delivery)
  • are postpartum (up to 6 months after delivery)
  • are an infant or child up to 5 years of age
  • meet the Illinois WIC income guidelines (you may still be eligible even with a job)


Please visit the following link to complete a pre-screening tool to see if you may be eligible for the WIC program:

To schedule an appointment for WIC, please call (618)939-3871 ext. 216
