- Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program is a special supplemental nutrition program for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have recently had a baby, infants, and children under five years of age. The WIC Program provides supplemental foods (such as milk, cheese, cereal, eggs, beans, peanut butter, and juice), nutrition education, breastfeeding education and support, and referral to health care and community services.
