WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children)
WIC is a nutrition program for pregnant women, breastfeeding women up to one year postpartum, non-breastfeeding women up to six months postpartum, and infants and children until the age of five.

The WIC program provides nutrition education, including breastfeeding support, nutritious foods, screenings and referrals.
