WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) helps lower grocery bills by giving monthly food benefits, free nutrition support, and referrals to other help for eligible pregnant people, new parents, and young children. Instead of reimbursing you later, WIC typically loads benefits onto an electronic card you can use at approved grocery stores to buy specific healthy foods your family normally needs anyway.

Eligibility is based on who you are, your income, where you live, and some basic health/nutrition factors.

WIC doesn’t just give a dollar amount like SNAP; it gives specific “food packages” based on who in your household is enrolled (pregnant person, baby, child under 5, breastfeeding parent, etc.).
Each package is a list of food types and monthly quantities you’re allowed to buy, loaded onto your WIC EBT card.
