WIC gives you a monthly food package to buy foods that help you get the nutrients you and your kids need. The foods in your package will change as your needs change and your child grows.

*Breast milk is one of the most important gifts you can give your baby. WIC supports breastfeeding as the best way to feed your baby for as long as you want. If you choose to use formula to feed your baby, WIC wants to help you too. Just know that we can't give you all the formula your baby might need for the entire month.
