Promoting better health through improved nutrition
The WIC program strives to prevent health problems and to improve the health of program participants during critical times of growth and development. WIC has a commitment to help participants improve their health status through better nutrition.
The Health Division at Community Resource Project, Inc. houses a variety of programs intended to provide additional health-related services to the families we serve.
The Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program (WIC) is a federal program designed to provide food to low-income pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants and children until the age of 5. The program provides a combination of nutrition education, checks for healthy foods, breastfeeding promotion and support and referrals to health care and social service agencies.
The purpose of WIC is to improve health of families during critical times of growth and development. WIC services are provided at nine different locations in Sacramento County. Contact us at 916-326-5830 or email to CRP WIC for more information.
