WIC, does stand for Women, Infants, Children. It is government funded for low income families to help pregnant, nursing mothers and children under the age of 5 stay healthy. All foster children qualify. You get vouchers that help you get formula baby cereal, and juice for infants. Milk, eggs, cereal, cheese, peanut butter, beans etc. for older children. It's a huge help on the formula. 5 of the 12.8 oz cans are about 70.00. You can only puchase certain brands and sizes with these vouchers. Such as juice, only juicy juicy, no kool aid. Cereals only healthy ones (which we prefer anyway) not the sugar laden ones. WIC weigh the children, check their iron and educate you on health. It's worth it for the extra food items. Especially when milk is almost 3.00 a gallon. Hope this info. helps.
