Oregon WIC: Healthy Families, Strong Communities The Oregon WIC Program improves nutrition security for over 80,000 women, infants, and children each month, ensuring our youngest Oregonians have the healthy start they deserve. Last year alone, WIC participants spent over $67 million in benefits at local grocery stores and pharmacies, fueling Oregon’s economy and supporting local businesses and farmers in every corner of the state. WIC provides: Wholesome foods for growing families Nutrition education Breastfeeding support Connections to vital community resources Serving families in all 36 counties through 100+ clinic sites, WIC is a proven investment in Oregon’s future, reducing health disparities, improving birth outcomes, and setting children up for lifelong success.
