The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) aims to promote the well-being of income-qualified pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children under the age of five. The program offers an eWIC debit card for purchasing healthy foods, personalized nutrition advice, referrals to community services, and breastfeeding support, which includes access to breast pumps, lactation experts, peer counselors, and support groups.
