Springfield-Greene County WIC

If you’ve never heard of WIC, here’s why it’s a game-changer for families.
 
WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children. It’s a program that provides nutritional support to pregnant people, new parents, infants, and children under the age of five.
 
WIC provides qualifying families with:
- Healthy groceries, like fruits, vegetables, milk and eggs
- Health screenings and nutrition guidance
- Breastfeeding support, including nursing bras, pump-lending, lactation consulting and peer support

You may have heard that WIC income guidelines have changed! WIC income eligibility changes slightly every year. Check the chart for the income guideline for your family size to see if you qualify.

Participants in SNAP, TA and most MO HealthNet programs are automatically income-eligible for WIC.

To find out if you qualify, fill out our form on wicworks417.com.
