WIC and food stamps are two separate forms of assistance. WIC also requires checkups and appointments for the children to attend in order to receive it. So it is essentially assisting in the welfare of the babies and young children. Making sure they are healthy and taken care of.

These people on wic have babies like cockroaches. more they have the more they get, makes me sick, i'm so tired of having to pay so they can be freeloaders. I had a friend who was pregnant and her husband was in a accident and left him temp. unable to work for 6mnths or more, she went and tried to get any kind of assistance she could, what she was told was she was not black so forget it and that she also owned to much only thing she owned was a car and motorcycle and told her to sell one of them and maybe she might get food stamps, but was no guarantee

It's not my responsibility @sshole. If you can't feed 'em don't breed 'em.

You are exactly correct. I needed assistance when I was younger and I was told I wasn't eligible because I was white. Ironically the caseworker(or whatever she is called) was a black girl I went to school with.

If you are white you are automatically discriminated against.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I was a WIC participate because of some unfortunate circumstances. Then and now I continue to work very hard at a well respected community establishment. My child is a blessing and no matter what I have to do to care for her is not a direct reflection of her future as some on here seem to think. The lazy low life leaches have caused a horrible stereotype for hardworking mothers such as myself. You'd be surprised by who receives assistance. We aren't all what you perceive us to be.
