Pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding mothers as well as children up to their fifth birthday who qualify can take advantage of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), which provides nutrition and breastfeeding counseling and education; as well as health monitoring and nutritious foods.

WIC provides nutrition, breastfeeding support, health education and other services, free of charge, to pregnant women, mothers, infants and children up to the age of 5 who qualify.
