WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, provides federal 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.
The program aims to safeguard the health of those at nutrition risk by offering nutritious foods, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care through various locations such as county health departments, hospitals, community centers, and schools.
