The Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC) in Clarksdale, MS, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. Through a combination of nutrition education, supplemental food resources, breastfeeding support, and vital healthcare referrals, WIC strives to foster healthy eating habits for growing families. Families must apply in person at their local county health department or designated WIC clinic to access benefits. For those unable to bring newborns to the clinic immediately, there is a 60-day grace period for the required visit. For more information about services available to your family, please reach out to your local WIC clinic.
