Services are provided at 9 sites throughout the County. There are fixed-base offices in Ukiah, Willits and Ft. Bragg and staff travel to outlying clinics in Pt. Arena, Boonville, Covelo, Laytonville, and Gualala monthly or bi-monthly. Please call our office for more information and/or to schedule an appointment.

The WIC Program not only improves the health of the WIC participants, but also helps the local economy by the spending of the vouchers for specific nutritious foods at local markets. In 2014, over 2 million federal dollars were infused into the local economy as the participants spent the vouchers at local stores.
