The Official WIC program is available to low to moderate income pregnant women, recently delivered women, breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. Fathers can also bring their children to apply for WIC. You may apply for WIC if you are working or unemployed. Check the Income Guidelines Table to see if you are eligible for WIC. This website was created for women looking for WIC information and locations. We are also working towards adding other locations and services that may help out women.
Designed specifically for women, infants, and children, this program
provides vouchers for nutritious foods and education in a supportive
environment. WIC is a federally funded program designed for pregnant
women, postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants and children under
age five.
Home Nursing Agency operates WIC in Blair and Centre counties, serving more than 5,000 women, infants and children each month. WIC eligibility is based on income for those family members who have a nutritional risk. Since 2009, WIC now offers some newer choices to the food package to reinforce important nutrition messages and provide choice and variety to our WIC families.
Recently, three nutritionists for Home Nursing Agency's Centre County WIC Program received their International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) credential. IBCLCs are experts in lactation and breastfeeding care, whose skills allow them to work to promote, protect and support breastfeeding.
