The mission of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is to safeguard the health of
low-income women, infants, and children through age 4 who are at
nutritional risk. WIC provides nutritious foods to supplement
diets, nutrition education, and referrals to health care and other
social services. Administered by USDA's Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS), almost half of all infants and about a quarter of all
children ages 1-4 in the United States participate in the program.
WIC is USDA's third-largest food and nutrition assistance program,
accounting for 10 percent of total Federal spending on food and
nutrition assistance. This report describes the WIC program-how it
works, its history, program trends, and the characteristics of the
population it serves. It also examines current issues facing WIC,
focusing mainly on those with important economic implications.
