Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Arlington, MA, is dedicated to promoting the health and nutrition of pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children under the age of five. Our free nutrition program offers essential services, including personalized nutrition consultations, healthy food distribution, and comprehensive breastfeeding support. We also connect families to vital resources such as healthcare referrals, dental care, and assistance with child care and housing. Whether you're working or not, married or single, fathers, grandparents, and other legal guardians of young children are encouraged to apply and participate actively in our workshops and appointments. WIC aims to empower families by fostering community connections and providing the support needed for a healthy start in life. Eligibility is streamlined for those receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard, ensuring that assistance is readily accessible to those who need it most.
