Federal Legislation, Regulations, and Policy

It’s crucial for Congress to understand how WIC operates to inform decisions on funding, healthcare, and nutrition policy. Annually, we advocate for WIC in Washington DC, educating policymakers.

We urge our members to invite their representatives to visit local WIC sites to see nutrition support in action.
