WIC Helps Families Grow Healthy

Healthy food makes for healthy families…  which makes our whole community healthier!

That’s why Adelante Healthcare works with the federally-funded Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Program, to help keep pregnant and breastfeeding women and their children under age 5 healthy.

WIC is a nutrition program that provides nutrition and health education, healthy food and other services free to Arizona families who qualify.

The program is for all types of families: married and single parents, working or not. If you are a mother, father, grandparent, foster parent or other legal guardian of a child under 5, you can apply for WIC for your child.

What does WIC offer?

WIC provides:

• Nutrition education
• Breastfeeding support
• Financial assistance to purchase healthy food
• Referrals to health care, immunizations and other community services

You can participate in WIC if you:

• Live in Arizona
• Have a nutritional need (our WIC staff can help you determine this)
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have an infant or child up to age 5

How do I apply for WIC?

To apply, visit to any Adelante Healthcare center or stand-alone WIC location and bring:

• Everyone enrolling in the program, including children
• Your driver’s license or photo ID
• Identification for everyone enrolling in the program.  For children, that may include a birth certificate, a crib card or a shot card / immunization record
• Proof of address, like an electric bill
• Proof of income, like a pay stub or letter from AHCCCS or Food Stamps

No appointment is necessary.  Same day service is available and walk-ins are welcome.
