Since seeing a drop during COVID, the WIC Program at the Knox County Health Department is open and assisting pregnant women and children up to age five, says Director of Wellness Erin Olson:

“A lot of WIC customers right now have the chance to voice their opinion to see if they want to increase their packages, if the packages need to change. We have information on our social media sites regarding that. If you are a family and you income qualify for WIC, which is Women, Infants, and Children, now you don’t get your blue paper checks anymore, you will actually get an EBT card. You get that card and it can provide you and your family with anything from milk, whole wheats, fruits, vegetables, formula, and baby food, anything of that.”
