The Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) has been part of the nation's nutrition safety net for over 50 years.


Extensive research has found WIC to be a cost-effective investment that leads to healthier infants, more nutritious diets, health care for children, and subsequently higher academic achievement for students.

WIC helps families receive healthy food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare and other community services.


Like other divisions within the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), WIC builds its program by addressing social determinants of health.

WIC impacts the life course by promoting health practices that can ultimately improve life outcomes often experienced by vulnerable communities.

WIC serves babies and children up to age five, pregnant women, and new mothers. Dads, grandparents, foster parents of young children, and working families are welcome at WIC too


Monthly, nearly one million WIC participants can find support at one of 84 local agencies which offer services at more than 500 sites throughout California.

WIC participants can redeem their food benefits at approximately 3,800 grocers who are authorized to serve WIC families.


In , the WIC Division implemented an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card called the California WIC Card and a new management information system that will allow WIC participants to be served more efficiently.
