About Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program in Savannah, GA, is a vital federally-funded initiative dedicated to improving the health and nutrition of pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and young children from birth to age five, including foster children. Our mission revolves around providing food assistance to families, whose income is at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level or those enrolled in Medicaid, ensuring they receive the nutrition they need to thrive. WIC offers a range of essential services including special checks to purchase healthy foods, comprehensive nutrition assessments, health screenings, breastfeeding support, and referrals to other health and social services. To qualify for our support, applicants must be low-income women or caregivers of young children who are at risk of nutritional deficiencies. Families interested in our services can begin by taking the WIC Eligibility Assessment available on Georgia's WIC website, and then contact their local WIC office for an appointment and specific documentation requirements. At WIC, we are committed to fostering healthy families and ensuring that every child has a strong start in life.
