The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) was created by Congress as a result of research findings indicating that a substantial number of pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants and children are predisposed to inadequate nutrition due to low income. WIC was created to serve as an adjunct to good health care during critical times of growth and development, to prevent the occurrence of drug abuse, and improve the health status of low income pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants and children. WIC is considered one of the most successful public health programs.
