Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in Freeport, NY is dedicated to supporting the health and nutrition of families with young children by offering essential food assistance and nutrition education. Our program helps participants access vital foods necessary for healthy growth during early childhood, allowing families to allocate their resources toward other healthy options such as fruits, vegetables, and proteins. WIC provides tailored financial assistance for purchasing food, guides families on making nutritious choices, and offers breastfeeding support. During the application process, our caring staff conducts a brief health screening, which includes vital health checks and discussions about individual health concerns to personalize food packages that meet the needs of each family. For infants with special dietary requirements, we provide access to approved formulas and can facilitate additional health documentation through your healthcare provider. Join us at WIC to strengthen the health of your family and ensure a nourishing start for your children.
