What is WIC?
The USDA Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a food and nutrition program that is here to help pregnant women, breastfeeding moms, and families with babies and young children.
Pregnant women who participate in WIC provide a healthy pregnancy for their baby. They also see their doctor early for prenatal care and eat more nutritious foods that have iron, protein, calcium and Vitamins A and C.
Being on WIC helps infants and children build healthy eating habits to aid normal growth and to maintain healthy blood. WIC also helps families to have a regular contact with their doctors.
