Women, Infants, Children (WIC)
The WIC Program provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and healthy foods to pregnant women, new moms, infants, and children under 5. We also offer basic health screenings, developmental checks, and referrals to other services.
WIC is here to help families—whether you’re working or just need extra support. The program, funded by the USDA and administered by the Illinois Department of Human Services, ensures parents have the tools to nourish their children during key growth stages.
One of WIC’s best resources? Our breastfeeding peer counselor—an experienced mom who’s here to answer questions, offer advice, and support your breastfeeding journey.
WIC may be able to help you if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding
- have an infant or child(ren) up to age 5
- have limited or no income
- want to improve your family’s health with good nutrition
Additional Information for WIC can be found on the USDA website.
