Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Located in Grosse Pointe, MI, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is a vital food assistance initiative aimed at promoting the health and well-being of low-income pregnant and breastfeeding women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old at risk due to nutritional inadequacies. Funded by the United States Department of Agriculture and administered through the Michigan Department of Community Health, WIC provides essential services including supplemental foods, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support to empower families in their nutritional journey. Local agencies such as health departments and non-profit organizations work tirelessly to deliver these benefits and resources directly to participants. To access the program, individuals need to provide proof of identity, address, and income, and both appointments and walk-ins are welcomed, ensuring that no family has to face the challenge of inadequate nutrition alone.
