About Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program in Ellenwood, GA, is dedicated to improving the health and nutrition of pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children up to five years old. This vital program, funded by federal resources, targets families with incomes at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level or those enrolled in Medicaid, providing essential support to those at risk for nutritional deficiencies. WIC offers special checks to purchase healthy foods from authorized vendors, nutrition assessments, health screenings, body measurements, hemoglobin checks, nutrition education, breastfeeding assistance, and referrals to other health and social services. To determine eligibility, families can utilize the WIC Eligibility Assessment on Georgia's WIC website, and thereafter, individuals are encouraged to contact their local WIC office for appointments and specific documentation requirements to access these important services.
