WIC+

Expand Participation with This Easy-to-Use, Online Gateway

Millions of women, infants, and children now urgently need assistance due to the COVID-19 economic hit. But even before the pandemic, a relatively low percentage of the eligible population were enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), missing out on the health and economic benefits WIC provides.

By making it easier to apply, state WIC Programs can help these nutritionally-at-risk individuals and families. Throughout our 30-year tradition of serving these programs, CMA has helped citizens adapt to the changing world by leveraging the latest technologies. And while confronting this devastating pandemic, CMA has responded again.
