About Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC)
The Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC) in Purvis, MS, is dedicated to fostering healthy nutrition among low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. Our mission focuses on providing essential nutrition education, access to supplemental foods, and breastfeeding promotion and support, all aimed at enhancing the well-being of families in our community. We also offer vital referrals for health care to ensure comprehensive care. To access WIC benefits, families must apply in person at their local county health department or our WIC clinic. Newborns can be seen at the clinic within a 60-day timeframe, allowing parents the flexibility and support they need. We encourage families to reach out to local WIC clinics for more information on available services and how to get started.
