About Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program in Covington, GA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutritional wellbeing of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old. As a federally-funded initiative, WIC provides vital food assistance and resources tailored for families facing nutritional risks, particularly those with incomes at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. Participants benefit from access to nutritious foods through special vouchers, health screenings, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support, along with referrals to other essential health and social services. To determine eligibility, families can use Georgia’s WIC Eligibility Assessment tool online, but must contact their local WIC office for a definitive qualification assessment and details on required documentation. By providing these essential services, WIC fosters healthier outcomes for our community's most vulnerable members.
