WIC can provide assistance for families with infants and children up to 5 years of age, as well as those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or whose pregnancy ended fewer than 6 months ago.
WIC staff will pre-screen for eligibility over the phone, and then schedule an appointment for either a phone or in-person meeting. When your family qualifies, food benefits will be uploaded to an eWIC card. The eWIC card can be mailed or can be picked up at the office.
Some services, like breast pump assistance,may require a physical visit.
Those who are new to WIC, think they may qualify, or need to renew their benefits should call 509.460.4202

WIC eligibility is based on income. Click here for guidelines.
- For income guidelines, a household is defined as a group of related or non-related individuals, who usually, although not necessarily, are living together and share income.
- A person who participates or has family members who participate in certain other benefit programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), may automatically meet the income eligibility requirement.
