WIC
Women Infants and Children or WIC, is a supplemental food and educational program to assist low-income families in the area. The program is designed for infants and children up to the age of 5, pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women. To qualify for WIC clients must meet certain income guidelines and show a nutritional need for the services. Nutritional need is determined through certifications that include weighing and measuring, a diet profile and hemoglobin check.
We provide nutritional food instruments (checks) for formula, milk, juice, eggs, cereal, peanut butter, cheese, and dried beans that can be redeemed at participating grocery stores. All women, infants, and children applying or re-applying for WIC must come to the appointment and show proof of identity, residence, and income for all members of applicant’s household.
Below you can find the Missouri WIC income guidelines. Income is assessed by family size and annual, monthly, or weekly income amounts of the whole family.
Income guidelines are based on 185% of poverty level.
