Celebrating National Nutrition Month: WIC services

March is National Nutrition Month® and the theme for 2025 is “Food Connects Us.” Bloomington Public Health supports the goals of Nutrition Month year around by helping eligible people who are pregnant, have recently been pregnant, or have children up to five years of age access nutritious food through the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition program.

BPH served 3,155 WIC participants in 2023. WIC dietitians play a critical role in educating individuals on how food impacts health throughout their lifespan. WIC staff recognize that food connects people to their cultures, families and friends.

“A person’s health, preferences, traditions and access can all impact their relationship with food,” said WIC Dietitian Katie Meaux. “We keep all of this in mind when working with clients.”
