Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program

The Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program in Oakland, CA, is dedicated to promoting healthy eating and nutrition education for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as parents and guardians of children under five. Beyond providing valuable nutrition advice, WIC offers breastfeeding support through peer counseling and specialized helplines, along with checks that allow clients to purchase nutritious food items at local grocery stores. We also assist families in accessing health insurance and connecting with healthcare providers, offering dental health classes and exams, and sharing vital information about immunizations. Additionally, our program provides seasonal checks for fresh fruits and vegetables at local Farmers Markets. We encourage families to bring their children when enrolling, as WIC is here to support the health and wellness of families in our community.
