WIC helps families by providing nutrition education, breastfeeding support, healthy foods, and referrals to healthcare and other community services. WIC serves babies and children up to age 5, pregnant women, and new mothers. Dads, grandparents, foster parents of young children, and working families are welcome at WIC too!</p> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-lg" href="https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CFH/DWICSN/Pages/Program-Landing1.aspx" >Launch service <span class="sr-only">: Women, Infants and Children (WIC)</span></a > <hr class="m-y-md" /> </div> </cagovhome-filterlist> </div> </div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="section-understated d-print-none"> <div class="container py-4 pb-5"> <cagov-feedback data-endpoint-url="https://feedback.innovation.ca.gov/sendfeedback"> </cagov-feedback> </div>  </div> <aside class="p-b-md p-t-sm section-standout site-footer d-print-none"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="h4 w-100 brd-bottom brd-highlight p-b" role="heading" aria-level="2"> About </div> <a href="/about/about-this-website/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> About this website </a> <a href="https://calcareers.ca.gov/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16" >State careers </a> <a href="https://data.ca.gov/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16" >California data </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="h4 w-100 brd-bottom brd-highlight p-b" role="heading" aria-level="2"> Support </div> <a href="https://www.sco.ca.gov/ppsd_cpod.html" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> State directory </a> <a href="/support/technical-help/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> Technical help </a> <a href="/contact/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> Contact </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="h4 w-100 brd-bottom brd-highlight p-b" role="heading" aria-level="2"> Campaigns </div> <a href="https://registertovote.ca.gov/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> Register to vote </a> <a href="https://saveourwater.com/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> Save our water </a> <a href="https://www.caiso.com/informed/Pages/Notifications/Default.aspx" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> Flex alert </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="h4 w-100 brd-bottom brd-highlight p-b" role="heading" aria-level="2"> Alerts </div> <a href="https://www.chp.ca.gov/Pages/Amber-Alert.aspx" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> Amber alert </a> <a href="https://calalerts.org/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> Cal alerts </a> <a href="https://myhazards.caloes.ca.gov/" class="d-block no-underline m-y font-size-16"> My hazards </a> </div> </div> <a href="/website-accessibility-certification.html" class="no-underline font-size-14 d-block m-t-md" ><span class="ca-gov-icon-certificate" aria-hidden="true"></span>Website Accessibility Certification</a > </div> </aside>  <footer id="footer" class="global-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="d-flex"> <a href="https://www.ca.gov" class="cagov-logo d-print-none"> <img src="/images/cagov-logo-flag-gradient.svg?v7F3A" alt="CA.gov icon" style="aspect-ratio:43/27" loading="lazy" /> </a> <ul class="footer-links d-print-none"> <li> <a href="/legal/conditions-of-use/">Conditions of use</a> </li> <li> <a href="/legal/privacy-policy/">Privacy policy</a> </li> <li> <a href="/legal/accessibility/"> Accessibility</a> </li> <li> <a href="/about/sitemap/">Sitemap</a> </li> </ul> <p class="text-right copyright"> © <span id="thisyear"> <script> document.getElementById('thisyear').appendChild(document.createTextNode(new Date().getFullYear())) </script> </span> State of California </p> </div> </div> <button class="return-top"> <span class="sr-only">Back to top</span> </button> </footer> </body> </html>
