Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Dorchester Center, MA, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, through essential food assistance and nutrition education. This free program offers personalized nutrition consultations, healthy food supplies, and comprehensive breastfeeding support, ensuring that families receive the resources they need for optimal health. WIC also connects families to vital healthcare services, including medical and dental care, health insurance, and assistance with housing and fuel. All parents, including fathers, grandparents, and legal guardians, are encouraged to participate and can easily apply if they qualify, especially if they are currently receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard. WIC provides a welcoming environment for families to learn, share experiences, and connect with others on important health topics, fostering a community that supports the nutritional needs of its youngest members.
