Description:
The WIC Program provides nutrition education and supplemental foods to low-income persons who are also nutritionally at risk. The target population for WIC includes pregnant women, breastfeeding women up to 1 year postpartum, non-breastfeeding women up to 6 months postpartum, infants and children up to age 5. Eligible persons must provide documentation for proof of income, residency and identity according to federal guidelines established by the USDA. Upon enrollment, eligible persons receive nutrition and breastfeeding education and counseling, extensive healthcare and community referrals, and vouchers for specified nutritious foods, which are then redeemed at local merchant locations.
