• Reduce infant mortality by decreasing the incidence of low birth weights.
• Increases breastfeeding rates.
• Give infants and children a healthy start in life by providing nutritious foods.

 
WIC provides:

• Nutrition education, breastfeeding education and support.
• Referral to prenatal care, pediatric health care and other maternal and child health and human service programs.
