Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program in Flushing, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health of low-income mothers, infants, and young children by providing essential nutrition education and breastfeeding support, along with access to nutritious foods. Our mission is to ensure that pregnant women, new mothers, and children under five receive the vital nutrients often lacking in their diets, ultimately supporting longer, healthier pregnancies and reducing the risk of premature births. WIC is available to pregnant women, mothers of infants up to six months old, and breastfeeding mothers with children up to 12 months. Eligibility is based on residency in New York State and meeting specific income guidelines, or receiving assistance from programs such as Food Stamps or Medicaid. To apply, individuals need to bring proof of identity, residency, income documentation, and any relevant medical records. We invite all eligible families to visit us and learn more about how WIC can support their health journey.
