Vouchers are provided which are used to purchase supplemental nutritional foods such as milk, peanut butter, and formula for infants. The WIC program also promotes good nutritional habits that will continue after a participant leaves the program. This is accomplished through nutritional counseling and education. The WIC program is offered at the Ocean County Health Department on Sunset Avenue in Toms River, the Northern Ocean Resource Center in Lakewood, and the Southern Ocean Resource Center in Stafford.
Eligibility is subject to financial guidelines and nutritional risk criteria.
Appointments are necessary.
