Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Detroit, MI, is dedicated to combating malnutrition and ensuring healthier futures for low-income pregnant and breastfeeding women, recent mothers, and young children up to age five who face nutritional risks. Funded by the United States Department of Agriculture and implemented through the Michigan Department of Community Health, WIC offers vital services including supplemental food assistance, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support. Local agencies, such as Health Departments and nonprofit organizations, provide these essential benefits, making it easier for families to access the support they need. Participants can apply with required documentation, such as proof of identity, income, and address, and are welcome to schedule appointments or walk in for assistance.
