WIC offices throughout New Jersey are administered by the state health department through a network of local clinic agencies — including county health departments, hospitals, community health centers, and nonprofit organizations — that are authorized to certify participants and provide nutrition services. New Jersey's WIC program follows USDA federal guidelines while operating its own approved food list and vendor management system.
WIC Office locations are available in 33 cities across New Jersey. They are spread across 18 counties.
Cities with the highest number of WIC offices include Newark, Camden, Trenton, which serve large populations of eligible families and often host multiple clinic sites to reduce travel barriers.
Pregnant women, new mothers, and families with young children in New Jersey who think they may be eligible for WIC are encouraged to apply even if they are unsure — income eligibility is based on household size and WIC serves families up to 185% of the federal poverty level. Applying does not affect other public benefit programs.
New Jersey WIC participants can find their nearest authorized WIC vendor — the grocery stores and pharmacies where their EBT benefits can be used — through the state WIC program's vendor locator tool. If you move within New Jersey, contact your current WIC clinic to transfer your case to the new local agency without losing your current certification period.
