The WIC program is for pregnant women, breast-feeding women, infants and children under five (5) years of age who have a medical/nutritional risk and are low-income. Due to limited federal funds, not everyone eligible for the WIC program will always receive services. The WIC program provides: • Coupons for food • Nutritional counseling • Nutrition education classes • Breast feeding help.For more information in Placer County, call WIC Nutrition Program, 1 (530) 889-7187, or 1-800-829-7199. Or, call your local county health department, or look under “WIC” in the white pages of your phone book.
