The Butler County WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) Program is a Supplemental Nutrition Program that serves income eligible pregnant and breastfeeding women, women who recently had a baby, infants, and children up for five years old who are at health risk due to inadequate nutrition.
The goal of the WIC program is to prevent nutrition-related health problems. It tackles this goal by providing breastfeeding education and support, healthcare/social service referrals, and nutritious foods such as eggs, milk, cereal, whole grain foods, fruits and vegetables, and infant formula.
To receive WIC you must:
***Fathers can apply for their infant and children, up to 5 years old.
The supplemental foods received through WIC are different from other supplemental food programs. WIC participants meet with Registered Dietitians and are prescribed specific foods and quantities to meet their specific nutrition and health needs. WIC benefits are supplemental and should not be relied upon as emergency food when other resources have been exhausted.
