WIC Nutrition Program

The Women, Infant and Children’s Program is a federally funded supplementary food and health program.  WIC has been in operation since 1978 in Greene County.  The purpose of this program is to provide supplementary food packages to eligible families to improve the health of infants, children, and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.  It is administered through the Greene County Health Department.  Nutrition education classes are held every two weeks at the Health Department.  The Maternal and Child Health Nurses present programs on breastfeeding, feeding infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, food budgeting, meal preparation, and good nutrition during pregnancy.
