Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Burlington, MA, is a vital federal initiative dedicated to improving the health and nutrition of low to medium-income families, particularly pregnant women, new mothers, and children under the age of five. Our mission centers on providing comprehensive nutrition education, counseling on breastfeeding, and guidance on healthy dietary choices. Participants receive WIC checks that can be redeemed for nutritious foods, including fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and baby formulas at authorized grocery stores and pharmacies. Additionally, WIC offers essential referrals to healthcare and social services, along with valuable coupons for purchasing fresh produce at local farmers’ markets. Through our Good Food Project, we engage families with weekly topics focused on healthy eating, meal planning, and smart shopping strategies. We invite families who seek to enhance their nutritional well-being to reach out to us directly for information, as all appointments are conducted via phone for your safety, and applications can be conveniently submitted online.
