By joining WIC, you are becoming part of a team that will help provide you with the tools and support you need to make healthy choices for you and the ones you love.

WIC provides:

• Monthly benefits to buy healthy food
• Personalized nutrition information and support
• Breastfeeding support, including one-on-one counseling with a mother who has breastfed
• Referrals for services that can benefit the whole family
• Immunization screening and referral
• Infant formula support
• Nutrition and health classes on a variety of topics including meal planning, caring for a new baby, shopping on a budget, and more.

Broken down by cost, WIC services can be valued at over $300 a month.

If you are a father, mother, grandparent, foster parent, or other legal guardian of a child under 5, you can apply for WIC for your child.

If you currently receive Medicaid, TANF, or SNAP, you already meet the income eligibility requirements.

To qualify for WIC services, participants must:

• Meet the income guidelines
• Be a child under 5, a new mom, or a pregnant or breastfeeding mom
• Live in South Carolina
• Have a nutritional need that can be helped by WIC food and nutritional counseling
