“The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides food, healthcare referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and other postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age 5 who are found to be at nutritional risk.
The program serves about half of all infants born in the U.S. In Rhode Island more than 16,000 people participated in the program in 2022, down from about 20,000 in 2017. Reduced enrollment in Rhode Island is consistent with national trends”.
