WIC in the News

WIC is celebrating 50 years!

For the last five decades, WIC has helped millions of women, infants, and children with increased access to healthy food, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support. Join NC WIC in recognizing the remarkable achievements of the WIC program.

The National WIC Association (NWA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) are releasing videos, toolkits, and other resources with ideas for commemorating this milestone.

The NWA videos provide the historical framework of the WIC Program, highlight the unique benefits of WIC, and feature interviews with WIC staff and participants all over the country.
