Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

In East Meadow, NY, the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to fostering healthy growth and nutrition for families during critical early years. Offering vital financial assistance for purchasing essential food items, WIC empowers participants to allocate their resources toward a broader range of nutritious options, including fruits, vegetables, bread, and meat. Our compassionate team provides comprehensive nutrition education, guidance on selecting healthy foods, and hands-on support for breastfeeding. Every applicant undergoes a brief health screening, which includes a blood test and discussions about dietary needs, to tailor the appropriate food packages for families. WIC also facilitates referrals to additional services, ensuring families receive the holistic support they need for optimal health and well-being. For those with special nutritional requirements, we can assist with medical documentation to access approved formula options. Join us in nurturing healthy futures for our children.
