Breastfeeding Program 

Choosing to breastfeed your infant is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make as a parent, and Louisiana WIC offers extra benefits for women who want to breastfeed.



Vendor Operations

WIC-authorized vendors (grocery stores) are an essential component to the success of the WIC Program. The Authorized Vendor Hub contains all necessary resources for current Louisiana WIC Vendors.


 

Complaints and Fraud

If you suspect WIC recipients or vendors/grocery stores are abusing the program, you can report this to the state for investigation. You can also file one of the five types of WIC complaints.
