Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in East Boston, MA, is dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5. This free nutrition program offers vital resources including personalized nutrition consultations, healthy food, breastfeeding support, and referrals to essential healthcare services. WIC aims to empower families—whether you are a working parent, single caregiver, grandparent, or foster parent—by providing access to nutrition education and a supportive community. Eligibility is straightforward, and families currently receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard (Medicaid) are automatically qualified. WIC also encourages all caregivers of young children to participate actively, as they are key to nutrition and health discussions, workshops, and shopping experiences. Join us in fostering healthier futures through positive nutrition and community connection.
