Women, Infants and Children’s Supplemental Food Programs (WIC)
The Women, Infants and Children's Supplemental Food programs (WIC) are intended to prevent complications of pregnancy and to promote growth and development of young children. The federal government, through its WIC program, supports the diets of pregnant women and children up to age five.
