Once per year, you will have a recertification appointment to renew your child’s WIC eligibility. If your appointment is in person at a WIC office, please bring your child(ren) with you and their most recent vaccination history. If you cannot bring your child please bring their recent medical records with height, weight, and anemia test results.
If your appointment is by phone, we will text you a link to upload photos of your child’s medical records on your appointment day.
During your appointment, we will:
- Confirm your family income, or child’s Medi-Cal status
- Talk about your child’s growth and nutrition
- Connect you with other community resources
- Load more food benefits onto your WIC card
WIC counselors are here to educate and empower you to build a healthy future for your family. We encourage you to ask questions and bring up any challenges you are facing. We will do our best to help or connect you with someone who can.
If you need to replace your WIC card, let your WIC counselor know. We are happy to replace it.
