Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Stoneham, MA, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of families through comprehensive support and resources. Offering free nutrition education, healthy food options, and breastfeeding assistance, WIC is designed for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under age five, ensuring they receive the vital nourishment they need. Our services include personalized nutritional consultations and referrals to essential healthcare, child care, and support programs, making it easier for families to access the resources they need. We encourage all guardians, including fathers and grandparents, to participate in our programs, attend workshops, and engage in discussions that strengthen community ties around food and health. Eligibility for WIC is simplified for those already receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard (Medicaid), and foster children under five are automatically eligible. At WIC, we are committed to building a healthier future for our youngest community members and their families.
