Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in Hingham, MA, is a vital nutrition program dedicated to promoting the health of Massachusetts families by providing essential free food assistance and supportive services to those who qualify. WIC is focused on the well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, ensuring they receive free, nutritious food, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support. Our program also offers valuable referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, child care, housing assistance, and more. Participation is automatic for individuals receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard (Medicaid), and foster children under five are equally eligible. WIC acknowledges the significant contributions of fathers, grandparents, stepparents, and other guardians, encouraging them to get involved by bringing their children to appointments and joining educational workshops. Together, we strive to create a healthier future for families in our community.
