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

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children (WIC) in Highland Park, IL, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of eligible residents by providing essential food assistance and nutrition education. Our comprehensive services include free health screenings, nutrition counseling, and referrals for medical care and immunizations, ensuring that families have access to the resources they need. WIC participants receive an EBT card for purchasing nutritious supplemental foods at no cost, including whole grains and fresh produce from local Farmer's Markets during the summer months. Additionally, we offer breastfeeding support and education through our Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program, effectively addressing nutritional challenges and helping to prevent more serious health issues caused by inadequate nutrition.
