Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program

The Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program in Berkeley, CA, is dedicated to empowering families with essential nutrition education and support. We serve pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as parents and guardians of infants and children under the age of five, including foster parents and single fathers. Our program provides personalized nutrition counseling, group classes, and comprehensive breastfeeding assistance, featuring a Helpline, peer counselors, and access to breast pumps. WIC helps families navigate healthcare by offering guidance on obtaining health insurance and connecting with local doctors and dentists. We also facilitate dental health classes, immunization reminders, and referrals to numerous community programs that support families. As part of our commitment to healthy eating, clients receive checks to purchase nutritious foods at local grocery stores, along with special summer vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables at Farmers Markets. We encourage you to bring your children when you enroll to ensure they benefit from these vital services.
