Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in Merced, CA, is a vital federally funded supplemental food program committed to ensuring that pregnant women, new mothers, and young children have access to nutritious food and support for healthy living. Through WIC, families receive supplemental foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and connections to local resources. Additionally, participants benefit from vouchers for fresh produce at affiliated farmer's markets, empowering them to make healthy choices. To better serve working parents, WIC offers lunchtime appointments in Merced, Atwater, Livingston, Los Banos, and Obanion, while also welcoming walk-in participants during specific hours. We are dedicated to nurturing healthy futures for women and children in our community.
