Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program is a federal assistance initiative that provides nutritious food, nutrition education, and support to pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children up to age five. Its goal is to promote health and development by ensuring vulnerable families have access to healthy foods like milk, fruits, vegetables, and cereal. WIC also offers healthcare referrals and breastfeeding support. The program aims to improve birth outcomes, support child growth, and reduce nutrition-related health issues, ultimately helping families build healthier futures.
