WIC is an Equal Opportunity Program. If you believe that you have been discriminated against due to race, color, national origin, age, sex or handicap, write immediately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250.

Why get WIC?




WIC is one of the most successful and effective Federally- funded nutrition programs in the US. Several studies have shown that WIC improves the lives and health of many women and children in America.

Women who have WIC while they are pregnant will have:
  • Longer pregnancies
  • Fewer premature births
  • Lower incidence of moderately low and very low birth weight infants
  • Fewer infant deaths
Children who receive WIC have:
  • Lower rates of iron deficiency anemia
  • Improved growth rates
  • Improved vocabulary scores for children of mothers who participated in WIC while pregnant
  • Significantly improved memory for numbers for children enrolled in WIC after the first year of life
It is amazing what WIC's nutrition education and supplemental foods can do! Nutrition is so important as soon as you find out you are pregnant. WIC can help you eat the right foods that you need to have a healthy baby. In early childhood, your child's brain is constanty growing and developing. Make sure your child has WIC to give them the best possible start!
