Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Roslindale, MA, is a vital free nutrition assistance initiative dedicated to supporting pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, ensuring their health and well-being. Our mission encompasses providing essential resources, including nutrition and health education, healthy food options, breastfeeding support, and referrals to various healthcare services. Families in Massachusetts can access WIC’s comprehensive offerings, such as personalized nutrition consultations, health workshops, and vital referrals for medical care, housing, and childcare, all at no cost. We celebrate the involvement of all caregivers, encouraging fathers, grandparents, and legal guardians to participate actively in their children's nutritional and health journeys. Eligibility is flexible, as those receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard (Medicaid) are automatically income eligible, and foster children under five are also welcome. WIC is committed to empowering families through nutritious food and community connections.
