SPCC WIC Program
Our Mission:
The SPCC WIC Program provides eligible families with a variety of nutritious foods, client-centered nutrition education and breastfeeding support along with referrals to community resources to promote and enhance good health.
Description:
- Nutrition education and counseling to eligible families in Eastern Monroe, Wayne, Yates, Seneca and Ontario Counties
- Breastfeeding support provided by trained Breastfeeding Peer Counselors, available 24 hours a day.
- Participants receive an eWIC card to purchase healthy foods such as milk, cheese, eggs, whole grain bread/pasta/tortillas, cereal, peanut butter, dried or canned beans/peas, baby foods, fruits, vegetables and more. WIC also provides infant formula for those babies who are not breastfed.
- During the summer, families enrolled in WIC are eligible to receive $25 worth of Farmer’s Market Checks.
- These checks may be used to purchase locally grown produce at participating farmers’ markets.
- WIC serves 5,000 women, infants, and children each month
