Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Merrick, NY is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children up to age five. Through our Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, we provide essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of nutritious foods that address common dietary deficiencies among women and children. Our goal is to promote better prenatal and postnatal health, leading to longer, healthier pregnancies and fewer premature births. WIC is open to residents of New York State who meet certain income guidelines; you do not need to be a U.S. citizen to qualify. To access our services, participants need to attend an appointment with the appropriate documentation, including proof of identity, residency, income, and pregnancy confirmation. Join us in creating a healthier future for mothers and their children by visiting your local WIC office in Merrick to learn more and apply for assistance.
