Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) in Eagle River, AK, is dedicated to supporting local families by offering crucial food assistance and nutrition resources. Operated through the Anchorage Public Health Department, WIC provides supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and valuable breastfeeding support, ensuring that eligible families receive comprehensive care and guidance. Our program includes screening and referrals to additional health, welfare, and social services to empower families in their wellness journey. To access WIC benefits, families need to complete a Family Information Form, apply for each individual requiring support, provide proof of income and residency, and schedule an appointment with a WIC counselor. We are here to nurture the health and well-being of mothers and young children in our community.
