The Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC) in Wood River, NE, is dedicated to fostering the health and well-being of pregnant women, infants, and children under five by providing essential food assistance at no cost. Our program offers nutritious foods specifically designed to ensure adequate intake of vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, protein, fiber, and whole grains, empowering families to make healthy choices. We also provide invaluable breastfeeding support and nutrition education, helping parents understand how to use WIC-approved foods effectively and shop smartly for their families. Additionally, WIC connects families with vital resources, including healthcare providers, immunization services, and financial assistance programs like SNAP and Medicaid. To participate, eligible families need to provide identification, proof of address, and proof of income to receive checks for wholesome options such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, baby food, and infant formula, ensuring they have access to vital nutrition during these crucial early years.
