Shelby County Wic
The Shelby County WIC program in Memphis, TN, is a federally funded initiative designed to provide supplemental food assistance and nutrition education to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-postpartum women, as well as infants and children up to age five who are at nutritional risk. The program not only offers healthy food options and breastfeeding support but also connects participants to essential health, welfare, and community services.
In response to COVID-19, the Shelby County Health Department has adapted its WIC services to operate over the phone, ensuring continued support for both new and existing customers. The program emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition and aims to improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations, serving approximately half of all infants born in the United States.
