We’re Here To Help
WIC is a program for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding an infant, women who have just had a baby, and caregivers to infants and children up to 5 years of age.
The WIC program provides free healthy foods, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding support, and referrals for health care and community services of eligible families.
Eligibility
- Women who are pregnant, recently postpartum or breastfeeding
- Infants
- Children up to age 5
- Must be income eligible
Income Eligibility Based on Income Intervals
The gross (before taxes) wages on your check stubs based on how often you are paid (income interval) and household size will need to be less than or equal to the amounts in the chart to be income eligible for WIC.
If you receive food assistance (SNAP), Medicaid, or temporary cash assistance (TCA) you are automatically income eligible. Our income guidelines should only be used as a reference. If you have questions, contact the WIC office at 772-794-7430.

- For a pregnant woman, each unborn baby counts as 1 extra person in the household size
- Maternity and paternity leave
- Loss of employment (temporary or long term)
- Gaps in income (e.g. teacher summer break)
- Caring for a family member in your household
- Private health insurance does not affect eligibility
