WIC's goal is to improve the health of low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding and nonbreastfeeding new mothers, and infants and children up to 5 years old. WIC provides supplemental foods, nutrition education, and access to health services. Participants redeem vouchers for specific foods that contain nutrients frequently lacking in the diet of low-income mothers and children.
