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

Who is eligible for 
WIC?

  • People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have had a pregnancy in the last 6 months can apply. 
  • Parents, step-parents, guardians, and foster parents of infants and children under the age of 5 can apply for their children.
  • If a person has a job or if he or she has private health insurance, they can still apply for WIC.


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.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.  Washington State WIC Nutrition Program does not discriminate.
