The WIC program, officially known as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, is a federal initiative that provides grants to states for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as infants and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk.
With a focus on safeguarding the health of vulnerable populations, WIC offers nutritious foods, guidance on healthy eating, and access to healthcare services through various locations such as county health departments, hospitals, community centers, and schools, aiming to support the well-being of women, infants, and young children in need.
