WIC is a public health program that helps safeguard the health and nutrition of some of our community’s most vulnerable members. We support healthy pregnancies, infants, and children up to age 5 by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, breastfeeding support, and referrals to other community resources. WIC works with families to set nutrition goals, learn practical skills for healthy living, and connect with services that can help improve overall well-being.
WIC provides services for:
- Pregnancy
- Postpartum, up to 6 months after delivery, including:
- after a miscarriage or loss
- after delivery with an infant no longer in your care
- Breastfeeding, up to 1 year after delivery
- Early childhood, birth to age 5
Mothers, fathers, grandparents, foster parents, and other guardians may apply for WIC for their infants and/or children.
To be eligible for WIC services, you must:
- Live in Oregon
- Have an infant or child under the age of 5 in the household or be pregnant or postpartum
