Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Jamaica, NY, is dedicated to improving the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to the age of five. Through our Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, we offer access to nutritious foods, including low-fat or fat-free milk, whole grains, and a variety of fruits and vegetables, all designed to support healthy growth and development. In addition to our food assistance, WIC provides essential breastfeeding support and information, nutrition education services, and immunization screenings to ensure the well-being of families in our community. Our mission is to empower mothers and caregivers with the resources and knowledge they need to nurture their children and foster a healthy future for all.
