Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Fresh Meadows, NY, is dedicated to nurturing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to the age of five through comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods. This Special Supplemental Nutrition Program is designed to bridge gaps in essential nutrients that are often lacking in the diets of women and young children, helping to ensure longer, healthier pregnancies and reducing the risk of premature births. WIC's mission is to empower families by offering support to those who qualify—whether you are a mother, a caregiver, or a child under five. To participate, residents need to meet specific eligibility criteria, including income guidelines and residency in New York State. The enrollment process is straightforward, requiring proof of identity, residency, income, and additional documentation, such as immunization records and pregnancy confirmation. Join us at WIC to access the resources and support necessary for a healthier future.
