 WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. Located in the same building as the health department, the Spalding County WIC and Nutrition Center stands ready to support low-income families in taking care of their health through the services Georgia WIC offers: nutritious foods, health education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to health care.

This free program is available to pregnant women, new moms, breastfeeding moms, and parents or guardians who are the sole provider of children under age five and meet the income and nutritional requirements. The WIC program also provides participants with individually tailored healthy food vouchers that can be used at thousands of stores through Georgia’s eWIC program, the state’s electronic food system for issuing food benefits.

Low Birthweight Initiative

Low birthweight infants (born weighing less than 5.5 pounds) face higher rates of infant mortality, developmental challenges and long-term disabilities. We are working to reduce the number of low birthweight babies born to Spalding County residents by partnering with social and health care agencies to provide smoking cessation classes, nutrition and healthy lifestyle classes, assistance with maternal stress management, and referral to affordable health and dental care.
