The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is a federal assistance initiative in the United States designed to support the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children up to age five. It provides access to healthy foods, nutrition education, and healthcare referrals to ensure that families receive the necessary resources for a healthy start in life. WIC aims to improve maternal and child health outcomes by promoting breastfeeding, proper nutrition, and regular health check-ups. Participants receive benefits such as food vouchers for nutritious items, which can help reduce food insecurity and improve overall well-being for families in need.
