WIC is a nutrition program that provides nutrition and health education, healthy food, and other services to Kansas families who qualify. WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WIC services are being offered remotely or in person by request..
​
WIC’s goal is to help keep pregnant and breastfeeding women, new moms, and kids under age 5 healthy. To do this, WIC provides:
-
Personalized nutrition information and support
-
Checks to buy healthy food
-
Tips for eating well to improve health
-
Referrals for services that can benefit the whole family
But that’s not all! WIC also offers immunization screening and referral, breastfeeding support, and nutrition and health information on a variety of topics including meal planning, maintaining a healthy weight, picky eaters, caring for a new baby, shopping on a budget and more.
We encourage you to take advantage of all that WIC offers.
