The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Poquoson, VA, is a vital initiative providing food assistance and nutrition education to eligible families, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture. Our program focuses on delivering supplemental nutritious foods like cheese, eggs, beans, milk, and fruits while promoting healthy eating habits that align with U.S.D.A. guidelines. We offer personalized and group nutrition counseling, breastfeeding support, and connections to essential health care services such as immunizations and dental care. WIC serves low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as parents or guardians of children under five who face nutritional risks. To apply, individuals need to bring proof of income, identification, residency, and relevant child health records. We invite you to visit our local health department to learn more and schedule your appointment.
