What is a WIC worker?

WIC workers are professionals who support the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). They help eligible families access nutritious foods, provide nutrition education, and assist with breastfeeding support. WIC workers also guide clients through the application process, assess nutritional needs, and connect families to health and social services. Their goal is to improve health outcomes for pregnant women, new mothers, and young children.
