Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Escondido, CA, is dedicated to fostering healthy food habits among low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and children from birth to five years old. Our mission revolves around providing essential nutrition education, supplemental food assistance, and unwavering breastfeeding support to ensure the well-being of families. Participants benefit from access to checks that can be exchanged for nutrient-rich food items, vital for the optimal growth and development of children and the health of expectant mothers. Additionally, we offer referrals to other crucial community services to support holistic health needs. At WIC, we believe that every child deserves a healthy start, and we strive to make that happen with care and support for each family we serve.
