Description of Program and Relief

Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition Program (“WIC”)

WIC is a nutrition program for women, infants, and young children that provides nutrition and health education, healthy food and other services. WIC’s goal is to help keep pregnant and breastfeeding women, new moms, and kids under age 5 healthy. Although typically WIC participants and applicants must be physically present to receive services, such requirement is waived as a result of COVID-19.
