Who WIC is For

WIC supports many kinds of families, including:
  • Those who are pregnant
  • Parents and caregivers with children from birth through age 5
  • Moms, dads, grandparents, foster parents, guardians, and step-parents
 
If you’re caring for a young child and think WIC might help, we encourage you to reach out. Our staff can help you check if you meet the income and other guidelines.
 
We provide WIC services through our Midland WIC office. Most families we serve live in Midland County, but if you live in a nearby county and our office is closest to you, you can still contact us to see if we can help.
 
You can review the income chart below to get a quick idea of eligibility.

  • Help with grocery shopping, including what items are covered and how to use your WIC card
  • Support during pregnancy, including nutrition education guidance and referrals to other services.
  • Growth checks for children, such as height and weight tracking
  • Hemoglobin checks for children and mothers.
  • Nutrition tips that fit your family’s routines and budget

What to Expect at a WIC Appointment

​At a typical WIC appointment, you can expect:
  • A friendly welcome from WIC staff
  • Time to discuss your family’s needs and questions
  • A simple health and nutrition check-in for you and your child
  • Help setting up or updating your food benefits
  • Information about community resources and other programs that may help your family
WIC staff are here to listen and work with you. We want you to feel comfortable, informed, and supported.

Breastfeeding and Nutrition Support

WIC provides support for feeding your baby, whether you are breastfeeding, using formula, or doing a combination of both.
For breastfeeding support, Michigan WIC offers a warmline: 833-649-4223. This line is available every day from 8 AM–8 PM for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, not just WIC customers.
 
If you are already a WIC customer and cannot reach your peer counselor, you can call the warmline for immediate help. They can answer questions, talk to you through challenges, and connect you with local support.
