WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)

Available in Benton, Fountain, Montgomery, Vermillion, and Warren Counties.

WIC is a special nutrition program that provides quality, effective core services such as nutrition and breast-feeding education, nutritious foods, and referrals for health care. Free pregnancy testing is available with the intent of encouraging mothers-to-be to obtain early prenatal care.

WIC provides food vouchers for baby formula and other nutritious foods. They can also provide breast pumps for teenage mothers so they can return to work or school while continuing to breast feed. Toothbrushes may also be provided to encourage the children to begin good dental health.
