## WIC Appointment Scheduling Options
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides nutrition assistance to pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children under the age of five who meet income and other eligibility requirements. Appointments are required to receive WIC services. There are several different ways to schedule a WIC appointment.
**Online Scheduling**
The easiest way to schedule a WIC appointment is online. You can visit the WIC website and click on the “Schedule an Appointment” link. You will be asked to provide your contact information and some basic information about your household. Once you have completed the form, you will be able to choose a time and date for your appointment.
**Phone Scheduling**
You can also schedule a WIC appointment by phone. The number to call is 1-800-357-2533. A representative will be available to assist you Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
**Walk-In Appointments**
Some WIC clinics offer walk-in appointments. This means that you can simply show up at the clinic during operating hours without having to schedule an appointment in advance. However, it is important to note that walk-in appointments may have longer wait times.
**Home Visits**
In some cases, WIC may offer home visits. This means that a WIC representative will come to your home to meet with you and provide you with services. Home visits are typically available to families who have difficulty traveling to a WIC clinic.
**Which Scheduling Option Is Right for You?**
The best way to schedule a WIC appointment is the one that is most convenient for you. If you have access to a computer with internet access, online scheduling is the easiest and most convenient option. If you do not have access to a computer, you can schedule an appointment by phone or walk-in.
**Tips for Scheduling a WIC Appointment**
* Schedule your appointment as soon as possible. WIC appointments can fill up quickly, especially during certain times of the year.
* Arrive for your appointment on time. If you are late, you may have to reschedule.
* Bring all of the required documentation to your appointment. This includes proof of income, proof of identity, and proof of pregnancy or breastfeeding if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
