Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Chelmsford, MA, is a vital federally-funded health and nutrition initiative dedicated to improving the well-being of women, infants, and children. Our mission is to empower families with vital nutrition education, access to healthy supplemental foods, and beneficial referrals to healthcare and community services. We provide personalized counseling on topics such as breastfeeding, proper infant feeding, good pregnancy nutrition, meal planning, and healthy food choices on a budget. Participants receive a WIC card to conveniently access nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, eggs, and baby formula at participating grocery stores and pharmacies. Additionally, we offer coupons for fresh produce at local farmers' markets and host the Good Food Project, featuring weekly sessions on healthy eating, recipes, and smart shopping strategies. WIC specifically serves pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and families with children under five, including foster children, who may be facing financial challenges. We welcome working families to apply, assuring that help is always within reach. For your convenience and safety, all appointments are conducted by phone, and you can start your application process online.
