The Germantown WIC Office has closed permanently, according to an email sent to families last week. Families are being directed to the Gaithersburg office a few miles away. WIC is a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. It is an American federal assistance program of the Food and Nutrition Service of the United States Department of Agriculture for healthcare and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and children under the age of five. The full letter can be seen below.
