  • Description
  • The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children also known as WIC is a federally funded program by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). WIC provides nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion, education and support, referrals to other health care providers, high risk nutrition counseling, immunizations and supplemental foods. The supplemental foods that participants receive while on the WIC program meet daily nutrient needs such as vitamins A and C, folic acid, calcium and iron. WIC participants receive WIC benefits through the Michigan WIC bridge card which can then be used to purchase the supplemental foods at participating grocery stores and pharmacies. In Kent County, WIC Services are provided by the Kent County Health Department.
