About Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program at Washington Navy Yard, DC, is a vital resource dedicated to supporting the nutritional health of low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as children under the age of five. Funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.), WIC provides essential food assistance through a variety of nutritious foods, including milk, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and infant formula. In addition to food benefits, the program emphasizes nutrition education through individualized counseling sessions and group workshops, alongside vital breastfeeding support and referrals to health care services, like immunizations and dental care. Our mission is to foster healthy pregnancy outcomes and encourage lifelong healthy eating habits, in alignment with U.S.D.A. guidelines. Eligibility for WIC is determined by income and nutritional risk, and we warmly invite eligible families to make an appointment, bringing relevant documents such as proof of income, identification, and proof of residency. Together, let's nurture a healthier future for women, infants, and children in our community.
