WIC is a special nutrition program for Women, Infants, and Children. It's funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In North Central Florida, WIC Services are provided by University of Florida, College of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the North Central Florida WIC Project.

The purpose of WIC is to improve your health.
	WIC provides you and your children with some of the foods your body needs to be healthier. WIC foods are meant to be used along with the other foods you usually buy.
	WIC provides nutrition education to help you and your family eat better and save money on food. Nutrition education is available to you when you pick up your WIC checks. You may see videos, get pamphlets or newsletters, go to a short nutrition class or a breastfeeding support class, or talk individually with the nutritionist to learn about nutrition and health.
	WIC promotes and supports breastfeeding as the best way to feed babies.
	WIC helps you get into other health and social service programs that you or your children may need.
