Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in Elmont, NY, is dedicated to ensuring that families have access to essential food assistance during critical early years of development. Our program not only provides financial help for purchasing vital nutritious foods but also offers nutrition education, so families can learn to make healthier food choices and prepare balanced meals. We prioritize breastfeeding support and can refer participants to various vital services to enhance family well-being. During the application process, our caring staff will conduct a brief health screening, which includes measurements and an assessment of health and nutrition concerns, allowing us to customize food packages suited to your family’s needs. For those who choose not to breastfeed, we ensure that infants receive appropriate formula from the New York State WIC Approved Formulas list. We are here to support your family's nutritional journey every step of the way, making healthy growth possible for women, infants, and children in our community.
