Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program in Baldwin, NY, is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of families during their vital early years. WIC offers essential food assistance, providing financial support to help purchase nutritious foods that foster healthy growth and development. Our program focuses on nutrition education, helping families choose and prepare healthy meals, alongside comprehensive breastfeeding support. Additionally, WIC facilitates access to other vital services through referrals. A brief health screening is conducted for all family members applying, assessing health and nutrition needs to tailor food packages appropriately. If specific nutritional needs arise, we work collaboratively with healthcare providers to ensure that every family gets the support necessary for their children's health and nourishment.
