Welcome Home, WIC!

Program moves into its newly-renovated space on Boone’s Lick Road

St. Charles County, MO -After several months in a temporary location, the St. Charles County WIC (Women, Infants, Children) Program is moving back home. As of October 31, WIC services will again be available in the lower level of the Department of Community Health and Environment building, 1650 Boone’s Lick Road in St. Charles.

WIC program personnel and services were relocated to downtown St. Charles last March to accommodate renovations at the health department building. Construction work at the facility is expected to wrap up early next week. To accommodate the move back to Boone’s Lick, WIC will be closed on Wednesday, October 29 and Thursday, October 30. Clients with appointments on those days will be contacted for re-scheduling, or they can call the WIC office at (636) 949-7402.
