Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Long Beach, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of low-income women, infants, and children through essential nutrition assistance. Our program offers vital resources including nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and a variety of nutritious food options that are crucial for the growth and health of mothers and their young children up to age five. By providing access to nutrient-rich foods often lacking in their diets, WIC helps ensure longer, healthier pregnancies and reduces the incidence of premature births. We welcome pregnant women, newborns, and children to apply for our services, regardless of their U.S. citizenship status, as long as they meet income eligibility standards or participate in programs like Medicaid or Food Stamps. To receive support, applicants must provide Proof of identity, residency, income, and additional documentation related to health and pregnancy. We invite you to join our program and take that important step towards a healthier future for you and your family.
