Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a nutrition program that helps pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children under 5 years of age. WIC offers nutrition and breastfeeding education, helps families by providing benefits for healthy foods, and offers referrals for other community services. No appointments are required.
