Original Post:
The Supplemental Nutritional Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) has changed locations in Mount Pleasant. Community Action of Southeast Iowa has had a center in Mount Pleasant since 1968. We have been in the Tolson Center at 1303 West Washington Street for decades. When Head Start moved out of the Tolson Center into their own building (Glenwood Head Start) in summer of 2024, WIC was able to secure funds for renovating one of their old classrooms into a clinic. We had our first clinic there in September 2025.
Come take a tour, enjoy light refreshments, and talking with our staff at our open house.
Emergency services, including the food pantry, utility assistance, and family development, continue to operate on one side of the building while WIC occupies in the front area.
Both sides of the building will be open for you to tour our space.
