Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Wakefield, MA, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of pregnant and breastfeeding women, along with children under the age of five, by offering vital food assistance and nutrition education at no cost. WIC provides a breadth of services, including personalized nutrition consultations, access to nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, and essential referrals to healthcare, child care, and other community resources, ensuring families receive comprehensive care. We welcome all eligible parents and guardians—whether working, non-working, single, or married—to apply for services, making it easy to support the healthy development of the children in their care. Income eligibility is streamlined for those already receiving TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard, and we encourage fathers, grandparents, and caregivers to engage actively in their children's nutrition and health discussions. Join us at WIC, where we foster community connection and empower families to thrive together.
