Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Located in East Falmouth, MA, the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of families in need. This free nutrition assistance initiative focuses on pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, by providing access to nutritious foods, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support. Additionally, WIC offers valuable referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, childcare, housing, and utility assistance.
