Women, Infants, & Children (WIC)

WIC (Women, Infants, & Children) helps pregnant women, mothers, infants, and young children stay healthy and eat right during times of important growth.

  • Educates pregnant women and new moms about nutrition, with personalized assessments, counseling and support
  • Provides pregnant women, new moms, infants and children (up to age 5) with nutritious supplemental foods
  • Brings women the support they need to breastfeed their babies
  • Offers referrals to additional social services and healthcare resources
