Support for Your Family:
By Your Side, Pregnancy to 5
From the moment you find out you’re pregnant until your child turns 5, WIC is by your side to provide extra support to help keep your family healthy. WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. WIC provides healthy foods, personalized nutrition education, breastfeeding support and referrals to other services to support you and your family.
