    California Women, Infants and Children Program Redemption by County

    Metadata Updated: November 27, 2024

    The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program is a federally-funded health and nutrition program that provides assistance to pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children under age five. WIC helps California families by providing food benefits to individual participants, which can be used to purchase healthy supplemental foods from about 4,000 WIC authorized vendor stores throughout the State. WIC also provides nutritional education, breastfeeding support, healthcare referrals and other community services. Participants must meet income guidelines and other criteria. Currently, 84 WIC agencies provide services monthly to approximately one million participants at over 500 sites in local communities throughout the State.

    The data files provided contain information about the number of participants or families who redeemed their benefits and the subsequent dollar value of those redeemed benefits by the vendor county starting the calendar years of 2010 and forward. Please see the data dictionaries and full description for details.
