  What is WIC?

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is a federally funded nutrition program that supports the health of pregnant individuals, postpartum parents, infants, and children up to age 5.

Through WIC, eligible families can receive food benefits, nutrition guidance, and breastfeeding support to help children grow strong and healthy during their earliest years.

WIC services include:

  • Supplemental food benefits for healthy groceries.
  • Breastfeeding education and support.
  • Nutrition education for parents and caregivers.
  • Help connecting to healthy food and community resources.

Why This Matters: Good nutrition early in life supports healthy growth, learning, and long-term health. WIC helps reduce food stress for families so they can focus on caring for themselves and their children.
