Healthy Kids, Strong Parents! WIC Works Wonders!
The WIC (Women, Infants and Children) Nutrition Program provides checks for free food and nutrition
information to help keep pregnant and postpartum women, infants and children under five healthy and
strong. The Fremont WIC Program provides services in Butler, Dodge, Polk, Saunders, and Washington
counties in eastern Nebraska. Our program currently serves nearly 1,500 participants at 7 clinic
locations. Our main office is in Fremont, and staff travel to Ashland, Blair, David City, Dodge,
Scribner, and Wahoo to serve our clients.
WIC Works Wonders!
- For Women - Women in the WIC Program eat better, have healthier babies and are more
likely to receive early prenatal care.
- For Infants - Infants born to WIC mothers weigh more and grow and develop better.
- For Children - Children on WIC eat foods with more iron and vitamin C, visit their doctors regularly and receive immunizations.
Our WIC staff is a caring team that provides:
- Counseling on how to use WIC foods and improve health
- Checks to buy foods that keep you healthy and strong
- Immunization screening and referral
- Discussions and classes on food shopping, recipes, taking care of babies, and
breastfeeding advice and information
- Referrals to doctors and clinics, dentists, and programs like Food Stamps, Aid
for Dependent Families, Kids Connection, and Medicaid
