Welcome Research shows that poor nutrition during early childhood increases the chance of anemia, adds to health care costs, and limits memory development and a child’s ability to learn.  Poor nutrition during a baby's first five years will affect that baby for the rest of its life.  During this critical period of a child’s development, WIC provides a safe, nurturing environment for education, healthcare and social service referrals, as well as free access to nutritious foods. The National WIC Association (NWA) works on behalf of the WIC Program to gain bipartisan support in the US Congress, the support of successive Administrations and a broad coalition, including advocacy groups, health care and religious organizations and the CEOs of several Fortune 500 corporations.
