Maternal and Family Health Services (MFHS) announced the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Nutrition Center in Tunkhannock, PA, is moving to a new location in Tunkhannock, opening on July 1, 2022. 

The WIC Nutrition Center, currently located at 133 West Tioga Street, Tunkhannock, will move to 512 Towne Plaza, Tunkhannock.    

“We are excited about the opportunity to provide WIC at a more convenient location for the families we serve,” said Maria Montoro Edwards, PhD, President & CEO, Maternal and Family Health Services. 

WIC is the nation’s premier public health and nutrition education program with an overall goal to influence lifetime nutrition through positive health behaviors.  WIC offers pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children under age 5 access to nutritious foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, farmers’ market vouchers, and referrals for other health and social services.  WIC provides participants with supplemental healthy foods which contain vital nutrients essential for healthy development during critical growth periods, such as pregnancy, infancy and early childhood.  To qualify for WIC, participants must meet the income guidelines, have a nutritional or medical need and live in Pennsylvania. Income guidelines are available at www.mfhs.org. 

Pennsylvania WIC is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).  This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
