About Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program in Powhatan, VA, is a vital resource designed to support the nutritional needs of low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and young children. Funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, WIC offers essential food assistance and nutrition education through personalized and group counseling sessions. Eligible participants receive a variety of healthy foods, including dairy products, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and infant formula, all aimed at promoting healthy eating habits and ensuring good health outcomes. In addition to food support, WIC provides breastfeeding resources and connects families to other vital health services, such as immunizations and dental care. To participate, families can schedule an appointment and must bring proof of income, identification, residency documentation, and, if applicable, proof of pregnancy. WIC is committed to fostering the well-being of women, infants, and children in our community, encouraging healthy lifestyles that align with USDA guidelines.
