Women, Infants, and Children
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) works to safeguard the health of eligible women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. The program provides nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare.
WIC helps pregnant people, people who are breastfeeding, new moms with babies under six months old, and children up to 5 years old.
WIC provides nutrition education to improve family health, as well as breastfeeding advice and support. Additionally, WIC provides healthy foods such as milk, juice, cereal, cheese, eggs, whole grain bread, brown rice, peanut butter, beans, infant formula, tuna, canned salmon, sardines, fruits, and vegetables. WIC also makes referrals to doctors, dentists, and other community services.
To receive WIC you must live in Rhode Island and meet income guidelines.
