The Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC) in Ainsworth, NE, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance and nutrition education to pregnant women, infants, and children under five. Our program offers healthy food at no cost, ensuring that families have access to the nutrition needed for strong, healthy development. We provide comprehensive breastfeeding support, answering questions and offering encouragement to new mothers. Our carefully selected WIC foods are designed to supply vital nutrients, including vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and protein, while our nutrition education helps families make healthier choices and use WIC foods effectively. WIC also serves as a valuable resource for connecting families to additional services such as healthcare providers, immunizations, and SNAP. To participate, applicants need to provide identification, proof of address, and proof of income, and upon eligibility, they receive checks for a variety of nutritious foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and infant formulas. Our mission is to empower families with the tools and knowledge to foster healthy eating habits and ensure the well-being of their children.
