Nutrition Education

WIC2Nutrition education is a major benefit of the Program and is provided to all adults and, whenever possible, to children directly. The goals of nutrition education are:

  • To teach about the relationship between nutrition, physical activity and good health.
  • To improve the eating and physical activity habits as they relate to the participant's nutritional risk.
  • To promote optimal use of the WIC Program's supplemental foods, and other nutritious foods.
  • To provide nutrition education that is appropriate to an individual's age, educational background, household situation, language, cultural and ethnic preferences, and nutritional needs.
