WIC Program

The Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC) in Carthage, MO, is a vital initiative under the City of Joplin's Health Department, dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. By offering essential services such as nutrition education, supplemental foods, and breastfeeding support, WIC empowers families to make informed dietary choices and improve their nutritional habits. Additionally, we provide valuable referrals for health care, ensuring that families receive comprehensive support during these crucial early years.
