Program Description

Vermont WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, helps pregnant women, new mothers and young children eat well, learn about nutrition and physical activity, and connect to health care and other programs and services. Our goal is to improve health and prevent chronic disease by helping women meet their breastfeeding goals, informing families about good health practices and providing nutritious foods to eligible Vermont families. The WIC program in Vermont is administered by the Vermont Department of Health.
