How to Apply 

A short screening process over the phone or in-person can help you find out if you qualify for the Sutter County WIC Program. You can call us at: (530) 822-7224 or stop by our main office at 1445 Veterans Memorial Circle in Yuba City. You can also fill out our online interest form and we will reach out to you. Once the screening has been completed, you will be given an enrollment appointment at our main office. Appointments are about an hour long. Most participants are enrolled and begin receiving benefits within two weeks of the initial screening.
