WIC Makes a Healthy Difference!
Do you have a child under age 5 years? Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
WIC is a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children up to age 5 years. The WIC Program serves as a resource for clients to receive nutrition education, breastfeeding support and services, and healthy foods. It also serves as a referral resource for health care or other programs. Here are a few tips for a healthier family:
Eat low fat meals including more fruits and vegetables
Eat more high fiber whole grains
Drink less juice and sweetened beverages
Make family meals matter
