What is WIC?

WIC is a special supplemental nutrition program for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding an infant, women who have just had a baby, and infants and children up to 5 years of age. The WIC program provides the following at no cost to the participant: healthy foods, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding support, and referrals for health care and community services.

To be Eligible for the WIC Program:

• You must be a pregnant woman, a woman who has recently been pregnant, a breastfeeding mother of an infant, an infant, or a child under five years old.
