Women, Infants, and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program

The Gloucester County Health Department offers the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)  to improve the health of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women as well as infants and children (under 5 years) through better nutrition and access to health care. 

WIC provides:

• supplemental nutritious foods

To be eligible for the WIC Program, applicants must meet categorical, residential, income, and nutrition risk requirements.  To apply, you will need to show proof of income, identity, and Virginia residency.  If you are eligible, there is no cost for this service.
