Wic

Located in Somerset, NJ, the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program, operated by the Northwest New Jersey Community Action Partnership, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. We offer vital food assistance, providing nutritious foods such as milk, eggs, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to support healthy growth and development. Beyond essential food, we offer comprehensive services including health screenings, nutrition education, breastfeeding support with lactation consultants, and important referrals to additional health and social services. Our mission is to combat issues like anemia and low birth weight, ensuring that families receive the nourishment necessary for thriving futures. Fathers are also welcome to bring their children to apply for WIC services, reinforcing our commitment to inclusive support for all caregivers in our community.
