WIC Family Services
WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) Family Services provides free, nutritious food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and healthcare referrals to low-income pregnant women, postpartum mothers, and children up to age 5. It is a federal program designed to support family health and is available for Tribal members and descendants of the Passamaquoddy Tribe.
The Pleasant Point Health Center’s WIC Program offers assistance with food and nutrition services for eligible mothers and children. We are open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:00 AM – 4: 30 PM and Tuesday and Friday from 8:00 AM – 12 PM.
Who is eligible for WIC Services?
Pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding parents, as well as infants and children up to age 5, are eligible. They must meet income guidelines, live in Maine, and be individually determined to be at “nutrition risk” by a health professional.
Fathers, legal guardians, adoptive parents, and foster parents can apply on behalf of eligible infants and children in their care.
To be eligible on the basis of income, applicants’ income must fall at or below 185 percent of the U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines. A person who receives MaineCare, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits automatically meet the income eligibility requirement.
