Hello to all. I am Thomas, a District IX health Educator covering Stone, George, Pearl River, Hancock, Jackson, and Harrison Counties. Today, I want to inform ALL Moms, Mothers, and Madres about the local WIC services and Infant/Child Car Seat distribution.
There are certain myths moms might not know about the eligibility or services that WIC and the car seat program provide.
WIC FACTS:
-WIC covers infants and children to age 5.
-The eligibility for WIC is for single Moms who make less than $26,973. For couples, the cut-off is $36,482.
-SNAP or TANF eligibility is much lower, but you can have SNAP or TANF and automatically qualify for WIC.
-You can have SNAP, WIC, and TANF at the same time.
-Wic has a new APP to track your funds and where to buy the foods offered.
-WIC now has a debit card just like EBT for SNAP.
-Undocumented migrant workers and Illegal aliens can receive WIC and will not be reported to immigration or ICE.

CAR SEAT FACTS AND DISTRIBUTION.
-Anyone who receives WIC, SNAP, TANF, or other governmental services or supplemental programs qualify for a free car seat.
-Anyone who receives WIC, SNAP, TANF, or other governmental services or supplemental programs qualify for a car seat free of charge.
-All car seats expire and should not be used after expiration.
_ You should not sell or give your car seat to anyone.
- If you wash your car seat, it takes the fire retardant off over time. One of the reasons for expiration dates.
-I distribute car seats on Wednesdays at the WIC office in DiIberville by appointment only.
-Occasionally, I will set up car seat checkpoints around the counties to ensure your seat is viable and properly installed.
If you need WIC, call your county's local Health Department or WIC office. If you require CAR SEATS, call me at 228-432-3414 or email me at [email protected] and setup an appointment. Have a great Mother's Day Weekend.

As the Gulf Coast's only dual-digital repository for health and economic development data, this resource provides comprehensive insights into individual health metrics and coastal economic conditions. However, its applications extend far beyond these parameters. High school teachers, college professors, researchers, grant writers, and students of various academic levels rely on this repository for data essential for writing papers, publishing peer-reviewed articles, and more. The provision of statistics for educational purposes represents merely the beginning of its potential uses.

In today's data-driven landscape, collecting data typically requires significant time, financial resources, and other assets. However, our data, which is freely accessible to all, is compiled from the most highly respected databases globally.

Here is a snapshot of our front page...

Did you know that this site is free for everyone to use, but costs Heritage Trails Partnership of the Mississippi Gulf Coast $36,000/year to host 5 counties worth of data?

If you find value in this resource, please consider advertising your company on the website or making a small contribution to help share the load and expand our data coverage. Eventually, we'd like to cover every county in Mississippi!!

Massive thanks to our primary sponsor, Mississippi Public Health Institute for their continued support!

I’m scared to let the cat out of the bag because everytime I do I get inundated with mamas needing this…

Hello, I am one of three people certified on the Gulf Coast to provide, educate, and install car seats for infants, toddlers, and children in any vehicle free of charge. Car seats are free which are rear facing, forward facing, booster seats and every type in between. All three car seat techs are at 1135 Ford St in Gulfport until 1PM.
