WIC

What is WIC?

WIC gives you access to healthy food, nutrition education and breastfeeding guidance. If you’re pregnant, a caregiver, or a mom with a child under 5, you can get the right personalized support for you and your family.

Caregivers with a low to medium income and those who are part of other programs such as foster care, medical assistance, or SNAP are eligible.
