How to Apply
Women, infants, and children living in Pennsylvania, who are at medical or nutritional risk, and meet WIC income guidelines are invited to apply for WIC benefits. Fathers of children under the age of five are encouraged to enroll their children in the WIC Program. Just like any other parent or guardian, fathers can bring their children to appointments, attend nutrition counseling sessions, and cash food vouchers for their children. If you are a grandparent and foster parent who has custody of grandchildren or children under the age of 5, you may apply on their behalf.
To apply, contact the Delaware County WIC Appointment Call Center at 610-497-7660.
If you live outside of Delaware County, contact 1-800-WIC-WINS or 1-800-942-9467 to be connected with the WIC Office closest to your home.
