Please note WIC is a well clinic. We ask that you let us know if you or someone in your immediate family has tested positive for COVID-19, FLU or other contagious illnesses such as RSV, chicken pox, or hand, foot and mouth disease.
Women who are currently pregnant, have had a baby in the past 6 months (past 12 months if breastfeeding), infants and children under the age of five may apply. In addition, foster parents and grandparents/family members who are the legal guardian of a child under age five may also apply on the child’s behalf. WIC applicants must live in the state of North Carolina and have a family income that is less than 185% of U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines. A person receiving Medicaid, SNAP, or TANF will automatically meet income eligibility requirement. Applicants must also be at nutritional risk that will be assessed by a WIC Nutritionist at time of application or certification.

Breastfeeding promotion and support is an important part of the WIC program. WIC has trained Nutritionists ready to provide breastfeeding education and support. Breastfeeding moms may also be eligible for breastfeeding supplies such as breast pumps if certain qualifications are met. WIC offers a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program. This is a free program that provides mother to mother counseling and support to women who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
For information on the Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program, call (919) 989-5296.
