What is the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) Program? WIC is a federally funded supplemental food and nutrition education program for women (pregnant, breastfeeding or up to 6 months postpartum), infants and children to the age of five that provides food, nutrition counseling, and referrals to health care. At WIC clinics, each participant is issued a set of checks listing certain foods for that month. The checks are redeemed at local stores which accept WIC checks. By providing some of the foods needed daily for good health, WIC can help you stretch you food budget. Nutritionist at the WIC clinic can help you plan healthy meals for your family, advise on infant feeding, children's diet needs, and the food needs of pregnant and breastfeeding women. WIC becomes a Participating Partner in MyBenefits (click the link for details). WIC Introduces New Peer Counseling Program (click here for more information).
