Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

WIC family

Our goal is to help our community raise healthy kids

The WIC program helps income-eligible women, infants and children up to age 5 by providing nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, information on healthy eating, health care screenings and referrals to resources.

Getting started with WIC

To qualify for WIC you must:

  • Live in Oregon. You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to get WIC services. 
  • Be pregnant, have given birth in the last year, or have a child who is under the age of 5. Dads, guardians and foster parents can apply for WIC for their children who are under age 5.
  • If you are on OHP, SNAP or TANF, you automatically qualify for WIC.  Otherwise see income guidelines
  • Have a nutritional need or risk.

If the above is true for you, you qualify for WIC. To get started, call or text 503-655-8476 or email WIC@clackamas.us with your name and contact information, and we'll get back to you with next steps.
