The GUAM WIC PROGRAM is a special supplemental nutrition and education program for women, infants, and children (up to 5 years old). It is a Health Promotion Program, not a welfare program. It teaches you and your family to be aware of your nutritional needs and to practice good eating habits. The Guam WIC Program helps you to be healthy during times of rapid growth. It promotes and supports breastfeeding, helps you prevent medical problems, and helps lower your health costs.
