WIC at CSUN
Women, Infants & Children (WIC) is a supplemental nutrition program funded by federal grants to help prenatal and postpartum women, infants, and children under the age of five. Participants receive one-on-one nutrition education, breastfeeding support, healthcare and community referrals, and a WIC food benefit card to purchase healthy foods at local grocery stores. To enroll, proof of income, current address, identification card, and proof of pregnancy (if applicable) are needed at the initial visit. Further information can be found online at https://www.myfamily.wic.ca.gov or by calling (818) 361-7541 to speak with a representative.
A part-time WIC office is located on the CSUN campus in Sequoia Hall Room 113. This office is open to all CSUN students, staff, or faculty members, and the surrounding community. This office is operated by Northeast Valley Health Corporation, a private, non-profit community-based organization who also operate (8) additional WIC offices in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys.
