WIC(Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program) The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC Program) was authorized in legislation passed by the United States Congress in Section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. The reason for enactment was due to findings that substantial numbers of pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants and young children from families with inadequate income are at special risk with respect to their physical and mental health by reason of inadequate nutrition or health care, or both. WIC has excellent career opportunities for registered/licensed dietitians. The WIC Program promotes and supports breastfeeding. Babies were born to be breastfed. Contact Information
