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, text CCWIC to 61222 or email WIC@clackamas.us with your name and contact information, and we'll get back to you with next steps.
Proof of name, address and income
To complete your enrollment, you'll need to provide the following:
Weight, Height and Iron Information
We need information about each WIC participant, including their current weight, height, and hemoglobin results (this bloodwork looks for iron levels that can tell if you are anemic or not.) Below are ways you can provide this information.
