WIC Families

WIC is a food and nutrition program for growing families. The program provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support, benefits for healthy foods, and referrals to health care and other community services.

Use one California WIC Card for all your family’s food benefits! You can shop for all of your foods at once or just a few at a time. You no longer have to worry about losing benefits if your WIC Card is lost or damaged. You have a month to use your benefits.

Use the California WIC App to find WIC offices and grocers. You can also use the WIC App to find:

• WIC Foods at the store;
  
• your WIC appointments;
  
• your WIC food balance;
  
• WIC income guidelines; and 
  
• nutrition tips
