Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Program

• If you have a scheduled appointment, you'll get two text reminders: one the day before your appointment and one the morning of your appointment.
• If you have a telehealth appointment, you will call us at the time of your appointment.
• If you miss your appointment, you'll get a text asking if you want to reschedule.

Learn what happens at your first appointment in this short video.

You’ll need to show us:

• Address and income for the past 30 days for your household.
• Proof of ID for you and your children getting WIC benefits.
• See the Wisconsin WIC webpage for examples of proof of identity, address, and income.
• If you are enrolled in a similar program, like Medicare or FoodShare, you do not need to provide any of these items.

We’ll do a screening of your health and nutrition. If you have an in-person appointment, this will include:

• Height and weight measurements
• Questions about your health and diet
• A test to see how much iron is in your blood

You’ll get an eWIC card at your appointment that you’ll be able to use that day to buy food.

Some families feed their baby at the breast/chest. Others use pumps, donor milk, or formula. There are different ways to feed a baby and we support your choice.

Call or text 608-267-1111 and talk to us for free about feeding your child.

• If you have BadgerCare, Medical Assistance, or other insurance, call your healthcare provider.
