Overview

The Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC) is a U.S. federal program that provides supplemental foods, healthcare referrals and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, as well as to infants and children up to 5 years old. 53% of all infants born in the U.S. are serviced by WIC.
