JACKSON, Wyo. — The Teton County Health Department (TCHD) has announced that the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is accepting new clients.
The joint federal and state government effort aims to bolster health for low-income women, infants and kids up to age 5 through supplemental food packages, health screenings, nutrition counseling and education, breastfeeding support and social services referrals.
To qualify for the WIC program, an individual must be a Wyoming resident meeting one of the following descriptors: infants/children under age 5; people currently pregnant or pregnant within the last six months; or people currently breastfeeding a baby. Applicants must also meet certain income guidelines. Those who are already enrolled in such programs as Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program (TANF) will automatically qualify.
The Teton County WIC program requires appointments. Phone appointments are available Mondays, and in-person appointments are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. To make an appointment, call (307) 734-1060 or visit the Wyoming WIC online portal. Bilingual staff can offer services in both English and Spanish.
