SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN (WIC)
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is designed to provide healthy food and nutrition services so families can remain healthy and feed their young children. Hunger in early childhood can have significant long-term health consequences. TJC is committed to helping protect, strengthen, and improve access to the program so families are not faced with hunger.
