WIC is for all types of Virginia families - families with married or single parents and those who are working or not working.
If you are a father, mother, foster parent, or other legal guardian of a child under 5 years of age, you can apply for your child.
If you are a woman who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or has a baby up to 6 months old, you can apply for yourself.
WIC has higher income guidelines than SNAP (EBT, Food Stamps) or Medicaid, so even if you don't qualify for SNAP or Medicaid, you still may qualify for WIC.

NOTES:

A person receiving standard Medicaid, FAMIS MOMS, SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps), free or reduced school lunch, or TANF automatically meets the income eligibility requirement and should bring their enrollment card.
A person receiving FAMIS must bring proof of income.

Or call 703-228-1260 to schedule an appointment to apply in person.
