The Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. There are three major components of the program:
- Nutrition education: both in groups and with individuals
- Food supplements: vouchers to buy specific food items from local grocers
- Health related referral to other Health Department or community programs
The goal of WIC is to ensure a healthy start for all newborns through good prenatal care and early childhood nutrition.
WIC has offices at three Clark County locations in Vancouver, Battle Ground and Washougal.
