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

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children (WIC) in Lake Villa, IL, is dedicated to empowering eligible residents with vital nutrition education, health care referrals, and abundant breastfeeding support. We strive to prevent serious health issues stemming from inadequate nutrition by offering free health and nutrition screenings, comprehensive counseling, and education on various topics. Our participants enjoy WIC food packages, including whole grain options, as well as access to coupons for fresh fruits and vegetables at local Farmer's Markets during the summer. With a focus on supporting families, we provide essential resources through our Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
