WIC
- the program is designed for pregnant,
postpartum, and nursing mothers, infants and
children under five years of age who qualify.
This
special supplemental food program for women,
infants and children (WIC) provides supplemental
foods, breast-feeding supplies and professional
nutritional counseling. To be eligible you must
meet income requirements, be a North Carolina
resident, and be medically or nutritionally at
risk.
ATTENTION, WIC PARTICIPANTS:
Starting
January 6, 2009, WIC is moving
to lower fat milk for women & children
24 months of age & older.
WHY?
Because cardiovascular disease is
the leading cause of death & illness in the
United States, & using lower fat milk is an
easy way to reduce fat in the diet.
You will be able to choose between
2%, 1%, & skim milk.
These lower fat milks have the same
amount of nutrients as the whole milk,
without the extra calories & fat.
