Program Description
Welcome to Vermont WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. Our goal is to improve health by informing families about good health practices and by providing nutritious foods to eligible Vermonters. Every year, thousands of women, infants and children receive health screenings, nutrition assessments and health education from the Vermont WIC program. The WIC program in Vermont is administered by the Vermont Department of Health.
