Celebrating 50 Years of WIC

Since 1974, WIC has improved the health and well-being of millions of pregnant people, infants, children and families by providing access to healthy food, breastfeeding support, health screenings and referrals.  

Join Clackamas County WIC in celebrating WIC’s 50th Birthday at the Oregon City Farmers Market on August 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.! WIC families can pick up and spend their fruit and veggie checks, get height, weight, and iron checks in our new WIC on Wheels mobile clinic and access breastfeeding and pump education.

Bring a friend with you to help them get signed up for WIC.
