Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Albany, NY is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five through comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods. Our program addresses critical dietary needs, helping participants achieve healthier pregnancies and reduce the risk of premature births. With a commitment to improving health outcomes, WIC provides essential resources that are often missing in the diets of women and young children. Qualification is open to pregnant women, infants, and children under five, regardless of U.S. citizenship, as long as income eligibility criteria are met or participants receive benefits from programs like Food Stamps, Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance. To take advantage of our services, interested individuals should bring necessary documentation to their appointment, including identification, proof of residence, and income verification.
