HOW DO I APPLY?

You can get started by using the online WIC pre-application tool to apply for WIC services. Once your application is received the local WIC agency will contact you to set up an appointment. If you’re transferring from another state, please do not fill out the online pre-application. Instead, call the Leavenworth WIC office at (913) 250-2040.

At the appointment, there will be a brief review of foods you eat, medical history, and current health status to determine the medical or nutritional need. If you or your child is found eligible for WIC benefits, the appointment will also include a nutrition education session with one of the Registered Dieticians.
