Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Located in Forest Hills, NY, the Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five. Our mission focuses on empowering families through free nutrition education and essential support services. We offer access to supplemental food vouchers that provide nutritious food options and infant formula, ensuring that our participants receive the vital nourishment they need. Our trained nutritionists are here to guide families in making healthy food choices and adopting healthier lifestyles. Additionally, our lactation consultants provide valuable breastfeeding support to help mothers succeed in their breastfeeding goals. Through initiatives like “Fit WIC,” we promote physical activity, food demonstrations, and wellness strategies aimed at combating obesity, creating a community where families can thrive together.
