Monroe WIC Offering Assistance to Families in Monroe County

The Florida Department of Health in Monroe County’s WIC (Special Supplemental Food Program for Women Infants and Children) offers food/nutrition/breastfeeding assistance to low income pregnant women or families with infants or children under the age of 5 years who reside in Monroe County.  Those individuals/families who meet this criteria and are experiencing a loss of income due to the COVID-19 crisis are encouraged to sign up for WIC to help with food costs.  Families that meet this criteria and are currently receiving unemployment or Medicaid benefits automatically qualify financially for WIC benefits.  Others will need to provide proof of income and/or explain income loss to qualify.
