Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

In Arlington, MA, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Food Program empowers low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, along with their infants and children up to five years old, to embrace healthier food choices. Our dedicated team offers nutrition education, personalized counseling, and essential breastfeeding support, including guidance and necessary supplies like breast pumps. Participants receive a debit card to acquire nutritious foods—such as milk, whole grains, beans, cereals, and fresh fruits and vegetables—tailored to meet the specific needs of families. Additionally, we connect families to a network of vital community resources, including SNAP, housing assistance, daycare, dental care, clothing support, and fuel assistance. If you are receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth, you are automatically income eligible, as are foster children under five. We are here to ensure you and your family have access to the nutrition and support you need.
