WIC

Helping families get the right start is important. That’s why the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is so important to our community. The WIC program is a special supplemental nutrition program that serves pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to their 5th birthday. Nutrition education, health screenings, breastfeeding education and support, referrals to other health and social services, and assistance to purchase healthy foods is offered to all who participate in the program.
