Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program in Watertown, MA, is dedicated to supporting families by providing free nutrition education, healthy food, breastfeeding support, and vital referrals to healthcare services. This essential program aims to ensure the health of pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under five, by creating a welcoming environment for all caregivers, including fathers, grandparents, and foster parents. WIC offers personalized nutrition consultations, free nutritious food, and resources that connect families to medical care, health insurance, child care, and housing assistance. Eligible participants can easily apply for WIC services if they receive benefits such as TAFDC, SNAP, or MassHealth Standard. We believe that community is strengthened when all caregivers engage in their children’s health journey, and we warmly encourage involvement in workshops and appointments to foster a supportive network around nutrition and wellness.
