We welcome migrant families, military families, fathers, foster parents, and legal guardians with eligible children.

Our WIC income guidelines will help determine if you are eligible for WIC.  

Call 239-344-2000 to schedule a WIC appointment at one of the three locations in Lee County:

All WIC offices close at noon on the last day of each month for inventories and staff training.

Bring all necessary information to determine eligibility to your appointment.

• Eligibility Checklist: English| Spanish | Creole 
• Bring the child, infant, or woman who is applying for in-person appointments so we can measure height/length, weight, and hemoglobin levels. You can also bring measurements from your health care provider to make your appointment go faster. The measurements must be within 60 days from your appointment (Medical Referral Form).
• If eligible by income, you will see a nutrition professional and be enrolled. 

You will receive an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card for specific nutritious foods to use at retail stores. The card can be used as soon as it’s received.

Breastfeeding support is provided by a peer counselors and a lactation consultant, in addition to manual breast pumps and electric breast pumps for loan, if needed.
