Mission
WIC supports the health and well-being of women, infants, and children up to age 5 who may be at nutritional risk by providing access to healthy foods, nutrition education, and essential support services. All at no cost to eligible WIC participants.
What We Do
- Assess each participant's nutritional status to provide personalized support.
- Assist in purchasing healthy foods based on participant's nutritional needs.
- Educate parents and caregivers with practical tips on healthy eating.
- Expand the use of fruit and vegetable benefits to allow their use at WIC approved Farmers Markets statewide.
- Offer referrals to healthcare, social services, and other community resources if needed.
- Promote breastfeeding by offering education, peer counseling, ongoing lactation support, access to hospital-grade breast pumps, enhanced food benefits, and referrals to community resources.
