Women, Infants & Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants & Children Program (WIC) in Chico, CA, is dedicated to supporting low-income families by promoting healthy food habits and nutrition for pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to five years old. Our federally-funded program offers essential services, including monthly food assistance to purchase nutritious foods, tailored nutrition education to guide healthy growth, and breastfeeding support to foster a nurturing environment. Additionally, WIC provides special checks for local farmers' markets during the summer and connects families with vital community and healthcare resources. While our offices are currently closed due to COVID-19, Butte County Public Health Department is ready to assist with scheduling appointments and conducting interviews over the phone, ensuring that our commitment to your family's health remains steadfast and accessible.
