For those who may not know WIC stands for womens, infants, and childrens program. It’s from the federal government and is an excellent program for pregnant women and those that have children five and under.
In the past and currently WIC gives women coupons every month to get free formula, baby cereal, beans, cereal, juice and baby juice, milk, eggs, and cheese. Now for the first time starting October 1, women will also be able to get coupons for fresh fruits and vegetables.
The allowance will be $10 for breastfeeding mothers, $8 for women with children under 5 years old, and and $6 for pregnant women. It’s not a lot, but remember that WIC is a supplemental program, and this change will certainly help.
Good for you and thanks WIC !
