The Women, Infants and Children Nutrition
Program (WIC) has been helping families in
Pennsylvania for more than 30 years. WIC
means healthier mothers and healthier
children. WIC provides foods like milk,
eggs, cereal and juice at no cost. WIC
families get healthy food high in protein,
iron, vitamin C and calcium that are good
for brain development and strong bones and
muscles. In some areas, you may also get
Pennsylvania-grown fruits and vegetables.
WIC is for all families. You can have a job
or be unemployed. You can be married, single
or live with your parents. Fathers, mothers,
guardians or grandparents may apply for
children under age five.
WIC brings more to the table than good food,
at WIC you also get:
- Answers to health, food and nutrition
questions such as how to save on your
grocery bill; eat when pregnant; fix healthy
meals in a hurry, deal with picky eaters
- One on one nutrition counseling as
available
- Breastfeeding information and support
- Growth check-ups for your children with
healthy screenings
- Recipes, newsletters, education materials
- Healthy foods at no cost
- Information on other services in the area
and referrals to community services
WIC is something good you can do for your
family now that will last a lifetime.
Who can
participate?
Children under age five and women who are
pregnant, breastfeeding or recently had a
baby who also have a nutritional need, live
