Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is the nation’s most successful and cost-effective public health nutrition program. We provide wholesome food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, health care referrals, and more for income-eligible women who are pregnant or post-partum, infants, and children up to 5 years old. WIC serves more than half of all infants born in the U.S. Whether we’re educating families on nutrition and breastfeeding, providing them with free and healthy food, or referring them to outside care and social services, we hope to give them the resources, knowledge, and tools they need to be the moms they want to be.

We are not only here for women. We are here for all parents, caregivers, and moms-to-be who meet certain income or nutrition-risk requirements. When you refer someone to WIC, you ensure their access to healthy options and communal support.

As a health care provider, knowing the ins and outs of WIC will help you when referring patients. This toolkit will give you a better understanding of the program, helping you make the best decision for each patient.
