What is WIC?
WIC is a health and nutrition program that has demonstrated a positive effect on pregnancy outcomes, child growth and development. Here are some facts about WIC:
Each month, more than 200,000 moms, babies, and children less than age 5 receive nutritious foods from the Michigan WIC Program. WIC foods are worth $30-$112 or more per month for each participant.WIC participants receive help with nutrition education and breastfeeding, as well as referrals to other health services.One out of every two babies born in Michigan receives WIC benefits.The earlier a pregnant woman receives nutritional benefits from WIC, the more likely she is to seek prenatal care and deliver a normal weight infant.For every dollar spent by this program, more than three dollars in subsequent health care costs are saved.A family of four may earn $40,000 per year and qualify for WIC.Local communities are supported with more than $120 million yearly when WIC foods are purchased at grocery stores and pharmacies.To learn more, please call the WIC agency nearest you for more information or call 1-800-26-BIRTH.
