WIC
Women, Infant & Children Supplemental Nutrition Program

New! 2022 Farmers Market Nutrition Program Benefits

Lewis and Clark County WIC will be participating in this year's WIC Farmers Market starting July 9th, 2022 until all vouchers are issued. Families have the Farmers Market season to spend the Farmers’ Market benefits, until Saturday, September 24, 2022.  This is first come, first serve, as we only have certain amount of vouchers to issue. Individuals aged 4 months and older who are eligible and current on their WIC benefits can receive WIC Farmers Market vouchers of $30.00 to use for local fresh fruits and vegetables. The Farmer’s Market benefits are only issued for the Farmers Market season and not every month. Our WIC office will begin the season on Saturday, July 9th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Helena’s Farmers Market at Women’s Park, and will continue to issue benefits on most Farmer Market days in Helena and East Helena. Please check out our poster and FAQs for more information. If you have questions please give us a call during open business hours or email us.

LCPH’s WIC program provides nearly 800 local parents and caregivers and their kids with healthy food, nutrition education, and more, to income-eligible parents and caregivers of infants and children up to 5 years old. Many people don’t realize they are eligible! To find out more, please call our WIC program at 406-457-8912.


WIC has closed temporarily beginning March 20 due to COVID-19. Services and benefits are still available by phone at 406-457-8912.
