Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) in Stoneham, MA, is a vital federally-funded initiative dedicated to promoting health and nutrition among women, infants, and children. By offering comprehensive nutrition education and counseling, WIC empowers families with the knowledge they need for healthy eating during pregnancy and early childhood. Participants benefit from free checks redeemable at grocery stores to access nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products, alongside essential baby foods and formula. WIC also provides vital referrals to healthcare and social services, ensuring families can connect with the support they need. Additionally, our Good Food Project offers weekly insights into healthy eating with recipes, smart shopping tips, and food demonstrations. We are here to support pregnant women, new mothers, and children under five, including those in foster care from families with low to medium income. We invite you to reach out for more information or to apply online, as all appointments are currently conducted by phone for your safety, enhancing access to essential food assistance and nutrition resources in the community.
