Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Farmingdale, NY is dedicated to promoting the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and their children up to five years old. Through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, WIC offers essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods that are vital for fostering healthy pregnancies and childhood development. By improving diets that often lack key nutrients, WIC helps reduce the risks of premature births and ensures longer, healthier pregnancies. Eligibility is open to pregnant women, infants, young children, and new mothers, regardless of U.S. citizenship, as long as applicants meet certain income guidelines or are already receiving benefits from programs like Food Stamps, Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. To participate, families should bring necessary documentation, including proof of identity, residency, income, and, if applicable, medical forms. Join us at WIC to take a vital step towards better health and nutritious futures for you and your children.
