Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Forest Hills, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and their young children. Through nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods, WIC strives to ensure that families receive essential nutrients vital for healthy growth and development. Our program provides support to women, infants, and children up to five years old, fostering longer, healthier pregnancies and reducing the incidence of premature births. Participants can access a variety of nutritious foods that can often be lacking in their diets. Eligibility includes being a resident of New York State, with no requirement for U.S. citizenship, and meeting specific income guidelines or receiving benefits from programs such as Food Stamps or Medicaid. To join our supportive community, bring proof of identity, residency, income, and any relevant medical documentation to your appointment.
