Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program in East Meadow, NY, is dedicated to improving the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old. Our Special Supplemental Nutrition Program provides essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and a variety of nutritious foods that are crucial for development and well-being. By ensuring access to vital nutrients often lacking in their diets, WIC helps participants experience healthier pregnancies, fewer premature births, and strong growth during early childhood. To qualify for our services, applicants must reside in New York State and meet specific income guidelines while demonstrating their status as a pregnant woman, mother of a young child, or breastfeeding mother. We invite you to bring necessary documentation to your appointment, including proof of identity, residency, income, and, if applicable, participation in Medicaid or SNAP. Join us at WIC to take a significant step towards a healthier future for you and your child.
