Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in East Elmhurst, NY is dedicated to enhancing the health of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old through comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods. Our program aims to fill nutritional gaps that are critical for the growth and development of mothers and their young children, leading to longer, healthier pregnancies and reduced instances of premature births. WIC's services are designed to empower families by providing essential resources and referrals, ensuring they have the support needed during this pivotal stage of life. Eligible participants simply need to be residents of New York State, meet specific income guidelines, and receive an assessment from a WIC healthcare professional to access our services. We warmly invite you to bring your documentation—such as proof of identity, residency, and income—to your appointment to get started on your journey toward better health.
