Procedures have changed for WIC appointments

ALL SERVICES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

Some appointments are being done over the phone and some are in-office.  

When applying or reapplying for WIC, staff will be calling clients, at the scheduled appointment time. Staff will gather needed information.  Once the appointment is completed over the phone, clients can walk-in Monday - Thursday 8:00am - 4:00pm to get food benefits loaded. 

This will allow staff to load the cards quickly. 

Most nutrition education and breastfeeding support continues to be provided over the phone, at this time. 

**WIC staff will attempt to contact you prior to future appointments to inform you if your child(ren) need to be present for their visit.  Attendance in the office will be required again for certain visits starting in 2023.** 

There are options to have another adult come in to get food benefits loaded onto the WIC card.  

**Call the WIC office if you are sending in another adult.**  

Please call the WIC office to schedule an appointment
during our regular business hours:

Mondays-Thursdays 8:00am - 4:30pm
Fridays 8:00am-12:00pm
