WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) is a federal nutrition program that provides healthy food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare and other social services to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children. Belle's pregnancy and difficulties supporting her family on a low income make her eligible for this program, which can help her obtain the necessary nutrients to address her high blood pressure and iron deficiency while supporting her family's overall nutritional needs. The FDIC and FDA are not relevant programs in this scenario, while the ERS (Economic Research Service) is a research agency within the USDA and not a direct support program for individuals.
