Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

In Albany, NY, the Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five. This Special Supplemental Nutrition Program provides essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods, ensuring that families receive the vital resources they need. By promoting healthier dietary choices and offering referrals for healthcare services, WIC plays a crucial role in fostering longer, healthier pregnancies and reducing the risk of premature births. Our mission focuses on nurturing the next generation with appropriate nutrition, empowering families to thrive through access to supplemental foods that fill critical nutrient gaps often found in diets of women and young children.
