Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The Women, Infant and Children Program (WIC) is a federally funded nutrition program that strives to improve the health of women and their young children. Pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women along with their infants and children under age five can receive nutrition education, breastfeeding support, community referrals and food vouchers.
The food packages provided to the clients differ according to age and nutritional needs. Infants receive baby food, juices, breastfeeding support and/or formula, as prescribed by the physician. Children and adults receive a variety of milk, juice, eggs, cheese and other foods. Starting in October 2009, the WIC food package will be expanded to include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and the option of soy products.
