Welcome to Pennsylvania WIC-Online!

What is WIC? WIC is a federally funded program that provides healthy supplemental foods and nutrition services for pregnant women, postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants and children under age five in a supportive environment. The WIC food packages had a major revision in October 2009, WIC foods now include fruits and vegetables, whole grains, soy options, canned beans and jarred infant foods, in addition to the healthy foods WIC is known for. These foods are lower in fat, higher in fiber and allow for participant and cultural preferences. The goal of the WIC Program is to decrease the risk of poor birth outcomes and to improve the health of the participants during critical stages of growth and development. WIC will help participants find the answers to these questions and many other nutrition related concerns: When can I start feeding my baby cereal and juice? How much weight should I gain during pregnancy? Will alcohol or smoking hurt my unborn baby?
