Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) in Girdwood, AK, is a vital nutrition initiative offered by the Anchorage Public Health Department, dedicated to supporting local families in need. Through WIC, eligible participants gain access to supplemental nutritious foods, essential nutrition education, and breastfeeding support, all designed to promote healthy growth and development for women and their children. Additionally, WIC provides screening and referrals to necessary health care and social services, ensuring families receive comprehensive support. To qualify for WIC benefits, families must complete a Family Information Form, submit an application for each individual, provide proof of income and residency, and schedule an appointment with a WIC counselor via telephone. Together, we are committed to nurturing healthier families and empowering our community.
