 What do I get on WIC?

   Our WIC offers breastfeeding services, that incude various benefits and support for breastfeeding mothers. We also offer a wide variety of popular infant formulas some of which are specialty formulas that require a Doctor's referral. If you need a particular formula please call to make sure it is one that we offer and so we can make sure it's in stock.

   If a special formula is needed we have referral forms that your 

doctor can fill out to specify the formula that you will need.  In most cases we can fax one to you doctor or you can pick one up to take with you to the doctor.
