How WIC Helps
WIC is a health and nutrition program for growing families. WIC helps families by providing nutrition education, breastfeeding support, vouchers for healthy foods, and referrals to healthcare and other community services.
Choosing healthy foods while pregnant, learning how to breastfeed, and taking care of your and your family’s nutrition is a big job. Find information on feeding your infant, child, and yourself here.
Keeping Your Child Safe From Lead
In response to the U.S. House of Representatives report titled “Baby Foods Are Tainted with Dangerous Levels of Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury,” the California Department of Public Health Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB) has developed a new educational flyer on the topic of baby food safety, “Keeping Your Child Safe from Lead.” Click here for more information.
