Wic

The Northwest New Jersey Community Action Partnership - WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of families in Hillsborough, NJ, by providing essential food assistance and supportive services. Our program offers supplemental nutritious foods to pregnant women, breastfeeding and postpartum mothers, infants, and children up to the age of five. We warmly welcome fathers to accompany their children during the application process. In addition to food, we provide valuable services such as health screenings, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support from lactation consultants, ensuring that families receive comprehensive care. By addressing issues like anemia and low birth weight, WIC plays a crucial role in securing key nutrients necessary for the growth and brain development of young children. Our nutrition package includes a variety of healthy options such as milk, eggs, cheese, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables—free of charge for those in need. For those seeking our services, local applications can be accessed through our WIC centers across Hunterdon, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren counties.
