Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition Education and Supplemental Food Program serves to safeguard the health of eligible women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. WIC is designed to improve the nutritional health of pregnant women, breastfeeding moms, infants, and children with the goal of improving the overall health of families.

While the WIC program does not provide direct benefits to dads or other male caregivers, they are always welcome to attend classes and ask questions.

WIC also provides vouchers to purchase nutritious supplemental foods like milk, eggs, cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads, cereal, peanut butter and beans at several local businesses.
