Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) in Acton, MA is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of women, infants, and young children. This federally-funded initiative provides essential services including nutrition education, access to healthy supplemental foods, and referrals to healthcare and community resources. Our program emphasizes the significance of breastfeeding, appropriate infant feeding practices, and making informed food choices on a budget. Participants receive a WIC card to redeem at local grocery stores for eligible foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and infant formula. We also offer coupons for fresh produce at farmers’ markets and engage families through the Good Food Project, featuring weekly discussions on healthy eating and practical cooking tips. WIC is committed to assisting pregnant or postpartum women and children under five, including those from low to medium-income families.
