Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Lexington, MA, is dedicated to supporting families through crucial health and nutrition services. As a federally-funded initiative, WIC empowers women, infants, and children by offering comprehensive nutrition education, access to healthy supplemental foods, and vital referrals to healthcare and community services. Participants receive personalized counseling on essential topics such as breastfeeding, infant feeding, and nutritious dietary choices, ensuring families can make informed food selections within their budgets. Eligible families can utilize the WIC card at local grocery stores and pharmacies to obtain a variety of approved food items, including fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and infant formula.
