The Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition Program (WIC)
WIC is a place where families get healthy food, nutrition education, health screening and referrals, and support. WIC is for pregnant women, new and breastfeeding moms, and children under 5 (including those living with grandparents and relatives raising children). Eligibility is dependent on household size and income, but most infants and children receiving Medicaid, TANF, or Basic Food benefits are eligible for WIC. The WIC program doesn’t discriminate.
