Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

In Far Rockaway, NY, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children up to age five through vital food assistance and nutrition education. Our mission is to promote healthy pregnancies and child development by providing essential resources like nutritious foods and breastfeeding support tailored specifically for low-income families. WIC participants benefit from improved health outcomes, including longer pregnancies and reduced rates of premature births. We welcome all eligible applicants regardless of U.S. citizenship, and assist those meeting our income guidelines or who are enrolled in programs like Food Stamps or Medicaid. To begin your journey with WIC, please gather your identification, proof of residency, income documents, and immunization records and visit us at your nearest location to apply for the program that supports a healthier future for your family.
