THE MOBILE SOLUTION

MCHD Moblile Solution

WIC Mobile Solution is not currently operating. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The WIC Mobile Solution bus is a 40-foot, specially designed mobile clinic which provides walk-in program services for the new WIC applicant. The Mobile Solution travels to underserved neighborhoods throughout Mecklenburg County and is staffed by professionals of the Mecklenburg County Health Department. The Mobile Solution offers WIC program applicants the opportunity to apply in convenient locations, without the need to wait for an appointment.

Pregnant or new mothers, infants and children under age five who are not currently enrolled in the WIC program are welcome to visit the Mobile Solution to apply for WIC services. No appointment is needed, although because this is a walk-in clinic, applicants are seen on a first come, first served basis.  Applicants are encouraged to arrive early to minimize waiting time and ensure being seen. (If you prefer to apply for WIC by appointment at one of our WIC clinic locations, please call our WIC appointment line at 704-336-6500).

What do I need to bring to apply for WIC?  If you have questions about any of the WIC application requirements, please call our WIC program secretary at 704-336-6469.

When you apply for WIC on the Mobile Solution bus, a WIC team consisting of an Interviewer and a Nutritionist will see you. The interviewer will review income, proof of residence and identification information. The nutritionist will complete a nutritional assessment, which includes checking height and weight, and asking questions about health, medical history and diet. The nutritionist will also provide nutrition education specific to the applicant's needs. Applicants (other than infants less than 9 months of age) will also have a blood test for iron deficiency. If the applicant is found to be eligible for the WIC program, WIC food instruments (or vouchers) will be issued which can be taken to participating WIC stores and exchanged for nutritious foods.
