LIMERICK — The York Country Women, Infants and Children program has relocated its Limerick clinic site to Limerick Congregational Church, 43 Main St.

The move, which is about two blocks from its former location, will also mean a change of service days for WIC clients in northern York County.

WIC appointments will be held at the Limerick site on Tuesdays, rather than Mondays. The hours will not change: WIC appointments at Limerick Congregational Church will be held every Tuesday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month.

“We’re really pleased with the new site,” said Jennifer Quimby, WIC program director. “Our WIC clinic in Limerick has generally served not only Limerick residents but also families from Limington, Newfield, Cornish and Parsonsfield. With our move just down the street from our previous site, we’ll still be able to provide care for residents of those towns.”

In addition to Limerick, York County WIC has clinic sites in Sanford, Buxton, Biddeford, Kittery and South Berwick.

WIC provides low-income pregnant women, postpartum mothers, infants and children up to age 5 with select foods, nutrition education, and health care and service referrals.

“We’re always looking for new clients in York County,” Quimby said. “The WIC program helps on so many levels – from improving birth outcomes and infant feeding practices, to reducing fetal deaths and infant mortality. WIC saves lives – it’s that simple.”

The number for York County WIC is 283-2402 and 459-2942. Applications can be taken over the phone.
