Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Mattapan, MA, is dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of families by offering free nutrition assistance and education tailored specifically for pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of five. We provide essential services such as personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious food at no cost. Additionally, WIC connects families with a variety of resources, including referrals for healthcare, child care, housing, and fuel assistance. Whether you are a single parent, married, or a guardian, if you care for a child under five, you're encouraged to apply. WIC is also designed to include fathers, grandparents, and other caregivers, inviting them to participate in educational workshops and grocery shopping. Income eligibility for WIC is straightforward, ensuring that families receiving benefits like TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard (Medicaid), as well as foster children, can easily access our services. Together, we strive to create a supportive community where families can thrive.
