Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

In East Meadow, NY, the Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old. By providing essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and a variety of nutritious foods, WIC aims to fill the nutritional gaps often found in the diets of young families. This vital program not only assists participants in having longer, healthier pregnancies with fewer premature births, but also ensures that mothers and young children receive critical nutrients necessary for their development. To participate, individuals must meet specific eligibility criteria regarding residency, income, and family status. We encourage those who qualify to bring necessary documentation for a smooth application process. Together, we can promote health and nutrition for our community’s women and children.
