The policy that I’m reviewing is the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, it was enforced in 1975. WIC was established from the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. The purpose of WIC is to support low-income families that consist of new mothers with infants or children ages five and younger. This program provides nutritious education and supplement foods to enrich children's lives and promotes healthy habits. WIC has a crucial position in reconstructing health in women’s, infants, and children’s lives.
