Women, Infants & Children (WIC)

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) provides nutrition information, help with breastfeeding, referrals to other services, and healthy foods. The WIC program strives to grow healthy families right from the start. Good nutrition during pregnancy and in the first years of a child’s life is very important. Research has found participation in the WIC program leads to healthier births, reduced infant mortality and better infant feeding practices. It has also shown that children receiving WIC benefits have diets that are more nutritious, which helps them do better in school.
