If you’ve never heard of WIC, here’s why it’s a game-changer for families.

WIC provides qualifying families with:
- Healthy groceries, like fruits, vegetables, milk and eggs
- Health screenings and nutrition guidance
- Breastfeeding support, including nursing bras, pump-lending, lactation consulting and peer support
