The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program in Thomaston, GA, plays a crucial role in supporting the health and nutritional needs of pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, infants, and young children up to age five, including foster children. This federally-funded initiative helps families with incomes at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level or those enrolled in Medicaid who are at risk for nutritional deficiencies. WIC provides essential services such as healthy food vouchers, nutrition assessments, health screenings, and education on breastfeeding and nutrition. Participants receive personalized support and referrals to additional health and social services, ensuring a comprehensive approach to wellness. To qualify for WIC services, low-income pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding women, along with guardians of young children, can use the WIC Eligibility Assessment available online, but must contact the local WIC office for definitive qualification and to schedule an appointment. Together, we're committed to fostering the health of our community's families.
