what are the benefits of having WIC?

I am eligible to get it but I was just wondering what it will do for me benefit wise... What you get from it etc.
I know you can get formula but I'm breastfeeding so that will be unnecessary for me.

Please let me know and the more thorough the better
I'm in Louisiana if that matters..

They'll give you checks for food like bread , eggs , dry beans, cheese, much more. Wic also has breast feeding classes and sometimes events where you can get free stuff for your baby and as you said formula as well. There's a lot of advantages with wic . Look online for more information
