WIC is a food and nutrition program for growing families.

The Women, Infants & Children program (WIC) provides supplemental food, health care referrals and nutrition education to low-income women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have recently given birth and to infants and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. The program also provides breast pumps and breastfeeding supplies.

WIC serves:

  • Pregnant women
  • Breastfeeding women up to one year of having a baby (postpartum)
  • Non-breastfeeding women up to six months postpartum
  • Women who had a pregnancy loss in the past six months
  • Infants and children under five years old
  • All foster children under five years old
  • Fathers, grandparents and caretakers may receive WIC food benefits for eligible infants and children
