WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)

WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) is a federal assistance program that provides nutritious food, breastfeeding support, nutrition education, and healthcare referrals to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children up to age five. The program aims to improve health outcomes by ensuring that families have access to healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, and whole grains, as well as information on proper nutrition and wellness. WIC is typically offered at local clinics and helps promote healthy development during critical early years.
