The WIC Program provides supplemental foods, nutrition education and referrals to health care and social services, at no cost, to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. To be fully eligible for the WIC Program, applicants must be determined by a health professional, at no cost, to be at nutritional risk (i.e., have certain medical-based or diet-based conditions such as anemia, underweight, overweight, history of pregnancy complications, or failure to meet the dietary guidelines).
