Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Located in Eastpointe, MI, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, sponsored by the Macomb County Health Department, is dedicated to empowering families through essential food assistance and nutritional support. As a federally funded USDA initiative, WIC provides free nutritious foods, infant formulas, and a range of services designed to promote healthy development. Participants benefit from comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding support, health screenings, and referrals to additional health and social services. Eligible applicants do not need to fill out a traditional application; instead, they simply need to call the WIC office, where staff will conduct an initial screening to guide them through the eligibility process with caring and professional support. Required documentation includes proof of household income, identification, proof of address, and other relevant information specific to the family's circumstances. WIC is committed to fostering healthy outcomes for women and children, ensuring that every child gets the best start in life.
