The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), a Federal agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is the agency responsible for administering the WIC Program at the national and regional levels.
WIC is an equal opportunity program. If you believe you have been discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, age, sex, or handicap, write immediately to:
