Indiana Special Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Indiana WIC provides supplemental foods, nutrition education and referrals to health care to pregnant women, infants, and children under the age of 5 who are determined to be at “nutritional risk”.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, families receiving Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or TANF automatically meet the income requirement for the Indiana WIC Program.1
