What is WIC?

 The Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition ProgramWIC is a place where families, like yours, get healthy food and a lot more. WIC is for pregnant women, new and breastfeeding moms, and children under 5. WIC made a difference for over 304,000 women, infants and children in Washington in 2014.
