It is a supplemental program that helps pregnant Women, Infant, & Children up to 5 yrs old to get the some nutritional food for free. Of course you would have to buy the store-brand foods, but you'd be able to get some milk, cheese, cereal, and fruits/veggies, and maybe baby food and formula depending on your child's needs. This is in Virginia, but I am pretty sure that other states have similar programs.
UKROPS however, in my area does not accept WIC, so beware and spare yourself the embarassment like I did today. I spent an hour trying to find the proper foods to purchase and by the time I made it to the check out counter they said, WIC wasn't taken there, and it made me red.
I attend college full time, and wish my school had some programs related to childcare assistance-- so my parents could get a break to do their own thing while my little one attends an educational place for a reasonable cost, but unfortunately VCU doesn't do that. They have a daycare but its $700 something a month. So that's my downer for today.
Called this ministry group called Crossover Ministries, to see if I could get some help with dental services, and they never called me back. With the overload of patients these days, I'm not so sure if I'll be able to get the help I need. And I'm not even sure if they would provide extensive dental care, such as implants.
But I'll keep trying... that's all I can do.
