The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children (WIC)

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children (WIC) in Grayslake, IL, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of families by offering essential food assistance and nutrition education to eligible residents of Lake County. With a focus on preventing serious health issues related to poor nutrition, WIC provides free health and nutrition screenings, counseling, and education tailored to various topics. Participants receive an EBT card to obtain nutritious supplemental foods at no cost, along with WIC food packages that prioritize whole grain options. Additionally, the program supports clients with referrals for medical care, immunizations, and access to other vital services. During summer months, families can also enjoy coupons for fresh fruits and vegetables at local Farmer's Markets, alongside comprehensive breastfeeding education and counseling through our Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program. By fostering a supportive environment, WIC empowers families to make healthier choices and thrive.
