WIC: Nutrition Education
Worried about the federal government shutdown?
DHS is closely monitoring the current federal government shutdown. Our goal is to keep the public informed, especially our WIC participants who receive vital nutrition assistance. Even though the federal government has shutdown, Wisconsin WIC is currently available. At this time, you can use your WIC benefits, attend WIC appointments, and do not need to take any action. If there are changes to the availability of WIC funding and benefits, we will let you know immediately. Contact your local WIC agency with any questions.
You want to keep your family healthy and strong. Together, we can explore healthy eating, make a plan, and help you reach your nutrition goals. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is here for you!
WIC's nutrition guidance includes:
- Free, one-on-one conversations with nutrition experts.
- Help with any questions or concerns you have about food and feeding your family.
- Tips and information to optimize your nutrition during pregnancy.
- Connecting you with breastfeeding experts.
- Guidance on feeding and starting foods with your baby as they grow and develop.
