WHAT IS WIC?
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program at VNA Health Care is a federally-funded food assistance program designed to help pregnant women, new mothers, and children under the age of five eat well and stay healthy.
You may be eligible for WIC if you live in Illinois and you are expecting, breastfeeding, or have recently given birth up to six months ago; or if you are a parent or guardian with a child under the age of 5. If you are eligible, you can sign up at the Aurora Highland Avenue location.
At VNA, families will receive the highest standard of care. The United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (USDA – FNS) recently awarded VNA Health Care with the WIC Breastfeeding Gold Award of Excellence. Agencies that receive the gold award demonstrate excellence in breastfeeding practices and support. VNA is one of only four Illinois clinics that earned this recognition in 2023.
HOW DOES WIC WORK?
WIC is a public health program that improves the health of babies and young children. When you join, you get personalized nutrition advice, a list of healthy foods, and a WIC EBT card to buy those foods. You’ll also be connected to healthcare and parenting support if needed.
Breastfeeding mothers get extra foods including dairy, cereals, protein, and fish to support their health. If breastfeeding isn’t possible, iron-fortified formula is provided, plus baby foods as your child grows. WIC nutritionists regularly check your child’s growth and development.
Children 1-5 receive nutritious foods like milk, yogurt, cereals, eggs, beans, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
WIC promotes breastfeeding for a healthy start. Early enrollment helps babies thrive, and children in the program until age five tend to be better prepared for school.
