Chickasaw Nation Wic Program

The Chickasaw Nation Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is a non-discriminatory program that provides nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, and educational resources to pregnant or postpartum women, infants, and children up to the age of five. The program serves both Native and non-Native applicants and is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). WIC educators, nutritionists, lactation consultants, and breastfeeding peer counselors are available to provide guidance and support to families. The program issues benefits through an electronic benefit card, making it easier and more convenient for participants to access WIC foods.

The Chickasaw Nation WIC program is committed to promoting the health and well-being of families by offering a wide variety of foods, including infant foods, cereals, milk, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and more. Eligibility for the program is based on income level guidelines or participation in certain programs such as SNAP benefits, Medicaid, or TANF. Applicants must also undergo a nutritional risk assessment, which is conducted at no cost. For more information on eligibility and how to apply, individuals can contact their nearest Chickasaw Nation WIC office.
