WIC Nutrition Services

What is WIC?

Even working families often struggle to make ends meet. The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program may be able to help.

WIC is a federal nutrition program offered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered in Illinois by the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS).

WIC helps parents to feed their children properly during critical periods of growth and development. Well Child Center conveniently offers WIC at 4 locations in Northern Kane County. Scroll down for clinic locations.
