California WIC Association is a nonprofit organization based in West Sacramento, California, formed in 1992 by directors of local WIC agencies administering the federal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). It promotes WIC and related services to nourish, educate, support, and empower California families toward healthier futures, including breastfeeding support, nutrition education, health care access, and wellness initiatives for families and employees. The organization seeks inclusion and partnerships beyond the traditional WIC network, collaborating with businesses, vendors, allied public health and nutrition networks, and the general public. As a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit, CWA concentrates its work on statewide outreach and capacity building across California communities. A 2019 collaboration with Head Start California and the First 5 Association supported statewide outreach and education for the 2020 Census.
