WIC

General.7Macon County WIC is open during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our operations and procedures may change, please call our office with questions or concerns. 

The Women, Infants, and Children Program, also known as the WIC Program, is federally funded program through the Department of Agriculture. The goal of WIC is to provide nutrition education, health assessments, and food vouchers for pregnant, breastfeeding, and post partum women and families with infants or children under 5 years of age. Participation in WIC is based on nutritional risk and income eligibility.

Primary services provided by the Macon County Health Department include a health screening that includes dental, lead and hemoglobin screening; risk assessment; nutrition education and counseling; breastfeeding advocacy; and health care referrals. We have a Breast Pump Loan Program that brings a valuable resource to the community at no charge.

For breastfeeding support, call or text our Breastfeeding Peer Counselor directly at 660-346-7275.
