The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children – better known as the WIC Program. WIC provides healthy foods, nutrition and breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare and community services. WIC serves pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to the age of 5 who are at nutrition risk. All caretakers of young children and working families are welcome at WIC!
WIC is funded by the United State Department of Agriculture and income guidelines are based on a family income of less than 185% of the U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines or families receiving assistance from another qualifying program. All WIC applicants have a health and nutrition assessment as required by program guidelines.

Breastfeeding Promotion, Resources, and Support
Breastfeeding is one of the best things that a new mom can do for her baby, which is why breastfeeding support is such a high priority of the WIC program. All staff on the Caswell County WIC team is dedicated to supporting breastfeeding, both before and after the baby arrives.
Every mom that decides to breastfeed her baby is giving her baby a head start on fighting infections and helping protect the baby from illnesses. Support during the breastfeeding journey lets families know that WIC is there to help in every step of the way, no matter what level of support is needed.
Breastfeeding Peer Counselor (BFPC) Program
North Carolina receives special funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to build and sustain Breastfeeding Peer Counselor (BFPC) Programs in the Local Health Department. The funding for the Program is allocated through the Unites State Department of Agriculture, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for WIC. The purpose of the BFPC Program is to increase breastfeeding initiation and duration among women enrolled in the WIC Program through mother-to-mother peer breastfeeding support.
