Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Maspeth, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and children up to the age of five. Through our Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, we provide vital nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a diverse selection of nutritious foods that are essential for healthy development. By participating in WIC, individuals can benefit from improved pregnancy outcomes and a decrease in premature births, ensuring both mothers and their infants receive essential nutrients often lacking in their diets. To qualify for our services, applicants must be either pregnant, an infant or child under five, or a breastfeeding mother, and must meet specific income eligibility criteria. It is important to bring necessary documentation to your appointment, including proof of identity, residency, and income, among other requirements. We invite you to reach out to your local WIC office in New York State to learn more and apply for support.
