The mission of WIC
(Women Infants and Children)
is to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care.
WIC is a supplemental nutrition program for pregnant or breastfeeding women, infants and children up to 5 years of age. It provides short-term, low-cost, preventative health services for families in need of nutritional support. Below you will find the
