Caring From the Heart
W.I.C. (Women, Infants & Children), is a program that provides supplemental nutritious foods and nutritional counseling for eligible pregnant and nursing women, infants, and children up to age five.
Clinics are held on a regular basis at the Warsaw office and in Cole Camp at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on the first Tuesday of the month.
Appointments are required for all WIC clinics.
My Plate
Infants
(up to 1 year)
Start your infant off on the path of lifelong healthy nutrition.
The first year of a child's life is very important time for proper growth and development. Since infants eat and drink such small amounts at this stage, it’s important to make every bite count!
My Plate
Toddlers
(2-3 years)
Give your toddler healthy choices as they explore new foods and flavors.
Toddlers are learning to feed themselves and to eat new foods during this important time of growth and development. Young children have small stomachs and are developing food preferences, so make every bite count!
My Plate
Preschoolers
(3-5 years)
Help your preschooler eat well, be active, and grow up healthy!
Young children look to you as they learn, develop and grow healthy eating habits. Make every bite count.
My Plate
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Make your health a priority during this special time.
Making healthy food choices and staying active will support your baby’s growth. This will also help you stay healthy during your pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
