Nutrition Information
WIC Program
The WIC Program provides participants the ability to purchase specific foods each month that are designed to supplement their diets. Pregnant or postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5 are eligible. They must meet income guidelines, a state residency requirement, and be individually determined to be at "nutritional risk" by a health professional.
The number of the East Metro Health District Office is 770-339-4260 for any questions, or access the WIC Program website: www.wicprogram.org.
