Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Reading, MA, is dedicated to fostering healthy food choices for low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. Our mission is to provide crucial food assistance through tailored nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to healthy foods such as milk, whole grains, beans, cereal, and fresh fruits and vegetables via a convenient debit card system. We also offer breastfeeding supplies and referrals to helpful local programs like SNAP, housing assistance, daycare, dental care, clothing, and fuel assistance. With easy access for families currently receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth, WIC ensures that every family in need can receive comprehensive support for their nutritional and health needs.
