Many Don't Realize
WIC Program
Can Offer Assistance
Many Madison County women with
young children may be eligible for
assistance through the federal
Special Supplemental Food Program
for Women, Infants and Children, bet
ter known as the WIC program.
The following information provided
by the Madison County Dept. of Social
Services should answer many ques
tions regarding the program.
Q.: Even though my husband works,
we are still having trouble keeping
food on our table. My neighbor says
that we may be eligible for the WIC
program. What is the program?
A: The WIC program is a federal
assistance program administered by
the state of North Carolina through
county social service agencies
The program is designed to help in
sure that pregnant, breastfeeding or
post partum women and their infants
and children under five receive some
of the basics in nutrition. The WIC
program provides coupons for milk,
cheese, cereals, fruit juices, eggs and
dried beans for women and young
children. Infants can receive for
mula, cereals and fruit juices through
the program. The foods are provided
at no charge to all who qualify.
Eligibility for the program is
governed by income guidelines, but
the eligibility levels are higher than
those used for the food stamp pro
gram. Many working families with
children are eligible for assistance
and income is just one of the criteria
for participation. Women and
children suffering from low iron in
the blood are also eligible, as are
those who are either under or
overweight.
The WIC program also provides
nutrition counseling from trained
nutritionists. The WIC program is ad
minstered without regard to race,
color, national origin, political
beliefs, sex, age handicap. _

gram, contact the Madison County
