Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in South Boston, MA, is committed to supporting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under the age of five, by offering free nutrition assistance, health education, and access to healthy food. Our mission is to empower families by providing personalized nutrition consultations, breastfeeding support, and essential referrals to healthcare services, including dental care and housing assistance. We welcome all eligible Massachusetts families, regardless of employment status or family structure, including fathers, grandparents, and guardians, to apply for WIC benefits. Our program ensures that you not only receive healthy food but also can connect with other parents through workshops and community discussions on vital health topics. Eligibility is straightforward; if you're receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard, you're automatically qualified, and foster children under five are likewise eligible. At WIC, we understand and celebrate the significant role of caregivers in nurturing healthy beginnings for our youngest community members.
