WIC

Norwescap’s Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) program provides supplemental nutritious foods to pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants and children up to the age of five. Fathers may also bring their children to apply and learn more about WIC services.

What we do:

Participation in WIC has been shown to reduce low birth weight and infant mortality, increase prenatal care, and improve children’s health and academic performance.

WHO CAN APPLY: ELIGIBILITY

All Norwescap WIC services are free to those who qualify. An applicant’s gross income must be at or less than 185% of the U.S. poverty income guidelines. WIC services in New Jersey serve all who qualify regardless of immigration status. WIC is funded by the USDA, an equal opportunity employer.
