Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a vital program located in Bellmore, NY, dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five. By providing essential food assistance, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and helpful referrals, WIC empowers families to access nutritious foods that are crucial for healthy development. Our program is designed to reduce the risk of premature births and ensure longer, healthier pregnancies through the provision of nutrient-rich foods often lacking in the diets of women and young children. To qualify for WIC, you need to be a pregnant woman or a mother of a child under six months old, an infant, or a child up to five years of age. Residents of New York State, regardless of U.S. citizenship, can seek assistance as long as they meet income guidelines or receive benefits from Food Stamps, Medicaid, or TANF. We invite eligible families to bring necessary documents, including proof of identity, residency, income, and pregnancy confirmation, to their appointment.
