North Lincoln County WIC
|
WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children. WIC provides nutrition counseling, health information and a monthly food package to help pregnant women, breastfeeding women, infants and children (1-5 years) stay healthy and strong.
WIC also provides breastfeeding support services, including lactation counseling/support and no-cost loans of hospital-grade breast pumps. There is no cost to join WIC. Women, infants and children applying for WIC must live in Wyoming and meet income guidelines. If you receive POWER, SNAP (food stamps) or Medicaid, you meet WIC's income guidelines. Because WIC has generous income guidelines, many families still qualify for WIC services even if they are over-income for POWER, SNAP or Medicaid. Singles fathers, guardians or foster parents may apply for WIC for their children. North Lincoln County WIC is at 421 Jefferson St. (the Public Health office) in Afton. Hours are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8am-noon and 1-5pm. Walk-ins are welcome. |
