The Gallatin WIC Program Upgrades, New Location in Belgrade
The Gallatin Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) Program is headed to a new location in Belgrade! The Belgrade WIC office is now in the Heck/Quaw building at 91 West Southview Ave., Entrance 8 in Belgrade. This space is provided through a cooperative partnership with the Belgrade School District to better serve the families of Belgrade, Three Forks, Clarkston, and Manhattan.
“We are very excited about a few updates in recent months for the Gallatin WIC Program,” states Amie Gatterdam, Maternal Child Health Services Group Manager at the Gallatin City-County Health Department. “These updates include an online application form, hybrid meeting availability, and now a new – more convenient – location for many families.”
The Gallatin WIC Program’s online application was launched in May of 2024 and helps those gain access to WIC benefits with an easy-to-use online form. Anyone interested in WIC benefits can visit the Gallatin City-County Health Department’s website, www.healthygallatin.org/family-health/WIC to find more information on eligibility and documentation needed to apply. Additionally, the Gallatin WIC Program
started offering both in-person and remote (phone) appointments to help accommodate families on their schedule. Visit our website for more information or to make an appointment.
The WIC Program celebrates 50 years in 2024! The first WIC clinic opened in 1974 and the program has been at the center of positive public health outcomes, championing access to healthy food, breastfeeding support, health screenings, and referrals ever since.
WIC is a supplemental nutrition program that provides healthy food, breastfeeding support, and nutrition education to low-income families. The WIC program serves anyone who is pregnant or has become pregnant in the last 12 months (including pregnancy loss), as well as anyone caring for infants and children up to age five – this includes moms, dads, stepparents, grandparents, foster parents, or any legal guardian.
