About WIC

WIC is a nutritional program for pregnant and postpartum women, infants and children up to age five who are determined to be at a nutritional risk and meet income guidelines.

WIC's goal is to help keep pregnant and breastfeeding women, new moms and kids under five healthy. To do this, WIC provides:

  • Personalized nutrition information and support
  • Benefits to buy healthy foods
  • Tips for eating well to improve health
  • Breastfeeding support
  • Referrals for services that can benefit the whole family
