Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Bay Shore, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and young children up to age five through vital support services. We provide nutrition education, breastfeeding assistance, referrals, and a range of wholesome foods to ensure that families have access to essential nutrients that are often lacking in their diets. Participants in our program benefit from healthier pregnancies and improved health outcomes for their children. To join WIC, individuals must be a pregnant woman, a mother with an infant up to six months old, or a breastfeeding mother with a baby up to twelve months old, and they should meet specific income guidelines or receive benefits from programs like Food Stamps or Medicaid. Our welcoming team is here to help you navigate the application process, and we encourage anyone interested to bring proof of identity, residency, income, and other necessary documentation to their appointment. Together, we strive to create a healthier future for families in our community.
