Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The WIC program aims to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care. We work closely with family case management to educate women and provide them with the knowledge and tools to raise healthy, prosperous children.
