Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in San Marcos, CA, is dedicated to ensuring that low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old, receive essential nutrition and support. Our mission is to foster healthy food habits through comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion, and referrals to health care services. Participants benefit from access to supplemental foods that are vital for the growth and development of young children and expectant mothers. Through our program, families receive checks to purchase healthy food items at WIC-authorized vendors, empowering them to make nutritious choices and thrive during crucial developmental stages.
