Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

We are the largest WIC provider in Northern Nevada and help support thousands of families in raising happy, healthy children. 

We provide education, breastfeeding support services, supplemental nutritious foods and referrals to health and social services to pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children under the age of 5 who live in Nevada. We also offer additional one-on-one support, monthly virtual support groups, and can provide internal and external referrals to expert breastfeeding and lactation care.

Our WIC participants range from working to non-working families, and we do not limit eligibility on the basis of citizenship or immigration status.

Below is a preview of the services and support we offer families:

• Health screenings
• Supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and nutrition counseling
  • The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for WIC provides foods and nutritional education to low-income pregnant and postpartum women as well as infants and children up to age 5. We offer a range of healthy foods including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, milk, cheese, fish, tofu and more.

• Breastfeeding support services
  • We provide mother-to-mother breastfeeding support and education during pregnancy and after birth. In addition, we provide lactation counseling which includes assessment of breastfeeding, assistance with latching, providing breast pumps or breastfeeding aids as needed, developing a plan to help the mom reach her breastfeeding goals while also instilling confidence and empowerment.
