Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
How it works
WIC is the nation’s most successful public health nutrition program, providing monthly healthy food benefits, nutrition education, and community support.
Income eligible individuals and families can participate in WIC. Eligibility depends on how many people live with you in your home. Household size may include unborn children.
Income eligibility for July 1 through June 30, 2027 is:
- One person household: $29,526 or less
- Two-person household: $40,034 or less
- Three-person household: $50,542 or less
- Four-person household: $61,050 or less
- Five-person household: $71,558 or less
If you receive Medicaid, SNAP, or TANF benefits you may automatically qualify for WIC!
Eligible WIC participants include:
- Pregnant people
- Breastfeeding people
- People who have recently been pregnant
- Infants
- Children 0-5
- NOTE: Fathers, custodial grandparents, foster parents or guardians may apply
There is no application to fill out. We do ask that you make an appointment with us by calling 406-258-4740.
Bring the following items to your first appointment:
- Identification
- Proof of Montana residency
- Income documentation (if you do not receive Medicaid, SNAP, or TANF)
How to buy food with WIC benefits
Once approved, you receive your benefits monthly on an EBT card for WIC-authorized food. The Healthy Together App allows you to easily view your benefits, message with the clinic, and request appointments.
There are many WIC-authorized stores across Missoula County. Click here to search for WIC retailers near you.
Authorized foods include milk, cheese, yogurt, infant formula, cereals, bread, pasta, and much more. Click here to see what brands and types of food are available to purchase with your EBT card.
WIC appointments are done every three months. Additional food benefits may be added at that time. Need some help? Check out the wicsmart.com app.
