WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, is a federally funded nutrition program for women, infants, and children under 5. WIC provides the following at no cost: healthy foods, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding support, and referrals for immunizations, health care and community services.

The Florida WIC Mobile App will give WIC participants the opportunity to view upcoming appointments, view food benefits that have been issued to them in the clinic, scan UPCs while shopping at the store to see if the UPC is a WIC Approved item or not, and provide information on locations of WIC Stores and WIC Clinics across the State of Florida.

For additional information on appointment verification, prescreening, scheduling, or frequently asked questions, call 1-800-342-3556.  

To make a WIC appointment please call 352-421-6490.  We will set up an initial appointment to see if you are eligible for WIC. At this visit, your household income and the medical and nutrition status of each applicant will be reviewed.
