The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is a federal assistance initiative in the United States designed to support low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children up to age five. WIC provides nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to healthcare services to promote healthy growth and development. Participants in the WIC program receive benefits such as vouchers for healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products. The program aims to improve the health of mothers and children, reduce the risk of nutrition-related health issues, and enhance access to essential health services.
