WIC
What is WIC?
The Women, Infants, and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program (WIC) is a federally-funded health and nutrition program for:
- Infants and Children age 1 to 5 years (including foster children)
- Pregnant Women
- Breastfeeding Mothers (up to 1 year)
- Postpartum Women (up to 6 months)
Nutrition Benefits
WIC provides food benefits for the purchase of healthy foods with your eWIC card from WIC-authorized vendors – including milk, eggs, bread, cereal, juice, peanut butter, whole grains, fruits and vegetables and much more!
Breastfeeding Support
WIC offers many services to support breastfeeding mothers like you. Whether you are unsure about breastfeeding or already a seasoned pro, our dedicated staff of peer counselors, lactation consultants and nutrition professionals are available to provide you with the education, support and supplies that you may need.
Nutrition Education

WIC Services Update
November 5, 2025 – Georgia Department of Public Health is projecting Georgia WIC will have sufficient funding to provide WIC benefits through approximately the first week of December, and maintain clinic operations through the end of the year. WIC participants should continue to attend appointments and use their eWIC card at authorized Georgia WIC vendors. A break in WIC benefits could occur depending on the duration of this extended shutdown. DPH also continues to evaluate options to extend benefits as long as possible.
