Tell a friend about... A health program for
Women, Infants and Children
Effective
Date: March 22, 2007
WIC is a food and nutrition program funded by the United States
Department of Agriculture through the Michigan Department of Community
Health. Local agencies such as the Wayne County Public Health
Department and non-profit organizations, deliver WIC services and
benefits
to
the public.
WIC helps to correct or prevent malnutrition in low-income pregnant
and breastfeeding women, women who recently had a baby, infants
and children up to 5 years old who are at health risk due to inadequate
nutrition. WIC provides supplemental food, offers professional
nutrition education and makes referrals based on health screening
and assessments of need.
