Women, Infants & Children (WIC)
WIC is a nutrition education program that helps families eat well and stay healthy. WIC can help pregnant women learn about nutritious foods for a healthy pregnancy and birth, support breastfeeding and help new moms meet their breastfeeding goals, and support families in providing nutritious foods to their young children so they are healthy, happy and ready to learn.
