The Shasta County WIC program helps pregnant women, new moms, and young children eat well, stay healthy, and be active. With WIC you receive:

Healthy, no cost foods
Nutrition education for you and your family
Referrals to community services
Information and support for breastfeeding

WIC serves families with low to medium incomes, including many working families.

If you receive Medi-Cal, CalWORKs or CalFresh (Food Stamps), you could meet the income eligibility for WIC.

U.S. citizenship is not a requirement for receiving WIC. The non-cash benefits provided by WIC do not affect immigration status. WIC is an equal opportunity provider.
