The National WIC Association is celebrating 50 years of WIC!!!
The first WIC office opened in Kentucky in January of 1974. In the last half-century we have expanded to provide nutrition education, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, and healthcare referrals to our income-eligible families with women who are pregnant or post-partum, infants, and children under age 5.
We strive to support our clients through their journey of pregnancy, post-partum, and parenthood!
WIC Benefit Balances on the WICShopper app are HERE !!
