What is the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Program?
WIC is a special supplemental nutrition program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the South Dakota Department of Health. It is provided at no cost to eligible moms, babies & children. WIC’s goal is to help improve health by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, offering education on healthy eating, nutrition & breastfeeding and making referrals to other services.
