Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a vital program located in Alpena, MI, dedicated to ensuring the health and nutrition of low and moderate-income families including pregnant and breastfeeding women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old. Funded by the USDA and supported by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, WIC plays a critical role in improving pregnancy outcomes and promoting child development through essential services. Our program offers supplemental foods, nutrition education, health care referrals, and breastfeeding support to help families thrive. Eligibility is straightforward, with families receiving Medicaid or Food Stamps (SNAP) qualifying for assistance. We invite families to bring necessary documents, such as proof of residency, identity, income, and pregnancy, to access these important resources and embark on a healthier future together.
