Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) in Pasadena, CA, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance and nutrition education to women and children facing nutritional risk. As a federally-funded initiative, WIC empowers families by offering monthly food vouchers for nutritious items, vital for the health and development of expectant mothers and young children during critical growth periods. Alongside food support, WIC delivers comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding assistance, and referrals to additional community resources, ensuring families have access to the care they need. Participants enjoy regular appointments that include nutrition counseling and group sessions, fostering a supportive environment to promote healthy habits. By addressing nutritional needs through our various services, WIC is committed to improving the health of families in our community, reinforcing the importance of nutrition during early childhood and pregnancy.
