Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Hempstead, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five through comprehensive food assistance and nutrition education. Our program offers essential resources, including breastfeeding support and referrals, along with a variety of nutritious foods that help fill dietary gaps often experienced by families in need. By promoting healthier food choices, WIC contributes to longer, healthier pregnancies and reduces the risk of premature births. To participate, applicants must be pregnant women, infants or children under five, or breastfeeding mothers, and should reside in New York State while meeting specific income eligibility criteria. We're here to provide the support you need—just bring your identification, proof of residence and income, and any relevant medical records to your appointment. Join us in our mission to foster better nutrition and health for mothers and young children in our community.
