Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

In Astoria, NY, the Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program is dedicated to providing essential food assistance and nutrition support to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as infants and children up to age five. Our mission centers on promoting health through comprehensive nutrition education led by knowledgeable WIC nutritionists, tailored breastfeeding support, and the provision of eWIC cards that enable families to access a variety of nutritious foods. Beyond food assistance, we connect families to vital resources, including SNAP benefits, health insurance, and childcare services, ensuring that every participant has access to the support they deserve. To get started with our program, your doctor will need to complete the WIC Medical Referral Form, which is easily accessible for your convenience.
