WIC is the Federal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. WIC provides healthy food and a whole lot more, including nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to health care and other community programs. Families use an electronic WIC card to select eligible foods at their local participating store. You can trust WIC to be your family's nutrition expert during critical periods of growth and development, like pregnancy, infancy and early childhood. Over half the new babies and 40% of pregnant women in Vermont benefit from WIC.
