It is very important to the Maine CDC WIC Program that services are available to all eligible Mainers. Steps are taken to ensure there is no discrimination in accessing services and benefits. Resources have been translated into multiple languages to improve information access.
There are many polices guiding the work of WIC at the state and community levels. The WIC Policies are available for review and to help guide our work across Maine. The WIC State Plan is reviewed and updated each year with opportunity for public comment. Check out the WIC State Plan section below to learn more about this process, including when and how you can provide input.
