Mission Statement

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is a preventative public health nutrition program that provides nutrition and breastfeeding education, supplemental foods, and improved access to regular health care and social services to low and moderate income pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, and young children with, or at risk of developing nutrition related health problems. The Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) is an enhancement to WIC and offers additional breastfeeding education and peer support. The Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) provides locally grown fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables during the summer months to WIC clients to compliment WIC food packages, and increases awareness of area Farmer’s Markets. The Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) provides resources in the form of fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey and herbs from farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs to low-income seniors.
