Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

At Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in Merrick, NY, we are dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of young families. Our program offers vital food assistance to ensure that pregnant women, new mothers, and children up to age five receive essential nutritious foods that foster healthy growth and development. By providing financial support for purchasing these foods, we empower families to allocate their resources towards other nutritious options like fruits, vegetables, and proteins. Participants benefit from tailored nutrition education, guidance on meal preparation, and breastfeeding support to meet their individual needs. We conduct comprehensive health screenings to help identify the right food packages for each family, ensuring a personalized approach to nutrition. Our commitment extends to referrals for additional services, making WIC a cornerstone of community health and wellness in Merrick.
