To receive WIC benefits, household income must fall within certain guidelines. WIC looks at the family size and income to determine eligibility. The qualifying income level is higher than most other programs. Many people work and still qualify for WIC benefits. To find out if you qualify or to find out more information, call us at 328-7555. Our staff can help answer your questions and schedule your appointments. If participants to not understand English well, let our staff know and we can schedule an interpreter to be with you at your appointments.
Our clinic has day and evening hours available, and is on the bus line. If you do not live in Minnesota call 1-800-WIC-4030 to find the WIC clinic closest to you. |
