Women, Infants, & Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants, & Children Program, also known as WIC, helps Idaho families by providing checks to buy healthy foods from local grocery stores. WIC also provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and help finding other healthcare and community services. Monthly benefits depend on the age of the child (from birth to a child’s 5th birthday), and the status of the mother (pregnant, breastfeeding, or postpartum). WIC services are provided by the seven Idaho Public Health Districts and two Native American Health Agencies. There are more than 50 clinics located across the state.
