To receive WIC benefits, a participant must have a health need that nutrition education and WIC foods can help. The household income must also fall within certain guidelines. WIC looks at the family size and income to determine eligibility. The qualifying income level is higher than for most other programs. In Ramsey County there are nine WIC clinics, seven in the city and two suburban.
All clinics have day and evening hours and are conveniently located on or near bus lines.
