How does WIC work:

As a WIC applicant, you will go to the clinic in your community for a free visit to be enrolled and to pick up your checks. At the appointment, you'll receive nutrition support, and learn about other services you can use to help your family. The WIC checks can be used at local grocery stores for cereal, juice, milk, cheese, eggs, peanut butter and formula. The food is healthy and everything is free, which makes it easy to do what's right for you and your kids.

You're not alone.

We know that raising a family takes more than love. It takes money. Unfortunately, times are tight for families like yours all across Indiana. Every month, more than 150,000 Hoosiers count on WIC for more than free food. They count on us for good food, free.

Feed your family's future. Call (800) 522-0874 to find a clinic near you.
