  • Pregnant women
  • Postpartum women

The goal of WIC is to improve health outcomes by ensuring access to essential nutrition and education during early development.

  • Monthly food benefits for approved nutritious foods
  • Nutrition education and counseling
  • Breastfeeding support and resources

The specific foods and services available through WIC may differ by state or local agency.

Eligibility for WIC Benefits

Eligibility for WIC is determined at the state or local level and may consider factors such as:
