Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Baldwin, NY, is dedicated to fostering the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and their young children. As part of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, WIC provides essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of nutritious foods that are crucial for healthy development. Our program is designed for expectant and postpartum mothers, as well as infants and children up to five years old, ensuring that they receive the vital nutrients often lacking in their diets. By participating in WIC, families can experience longer, healthier pregnancies and a reduction in premature births. Eligibility includes being a resident of New York State with certain income guidelines, and you do not need to be a U.S. citizen. To enroll, bring along necessary documentation, including proof of identity, residency, income, and other medical records. We invite you to reach out to your nearest WIC location in Baldwin for more information and to begin your journey towards better nutrition for you and your family.
