As of 10/7/25, WCPH WIC program hopes to have sufficient funds to remain open until the end of October. Once funding for food benefits is depleted, our WIC program will shut down until funding is reinstated from the federal government. If the program shuts down, all remaining October benefits will be permanently gone (even if not used by the families).Participants are encouraged to keep their appointments and use their benefits until receiving notice that the program has shutdown.
Whitman County Public Health provides eligible families with cribettes, sleep sacks, and safe sleep education.

Safe Home Kits
As part of WCPH’s SafeKids efforts, we have started to provide safe home kits to local clinics to distribute to Whitman County families as needed.
We’ve partnered with: WMG Colfax, Palouse Peds, Pullman Family Medicine and WSU Family Medicine Residency Center to help parents and guardians get the materials needed to make their homes safer for their children thus reducing the childhood injury rate within Whitman County.
If your child is 12 months or younger and you are at your child's pediatrician appointment, ask to take home one of WCPH's Safe Home kits.
Any medication—with or without a prescription—can be harmful if taken in the wrong way or by the wrong person. Lock Boxes are one of the most effective deterrents to accidental poisonings, overdose, medicine theft, and misuse.
