Women, Infants and Children

The Virginia Department of Health is actively monitoring the federal funding shutdown and assessing any impacts. We are taking steps to identify any areas that may be impacted. The Virginia WIC Program is continuing normal operations into the foreseeable future. We remain in communication with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to stay informed of any updates. We encourage families to keep their WIC appointments and stay in contact with their local health departments for any WIC-related needs.

Effective Thursday October 23rd the Cumberland WIC team will be serving our clients at:
Luther P Jackson School
1696 Anderson Hwy-Rt 60
Cumberland, VA 23040
For questions please call (434) 392-4932

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is available at every health department in Piedmont Health District. The Virginia WIC Program serves low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women and children up to age five.
