Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

Located in Middle Village, NY, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five. WIC provides crucial resources including nutrition education, breastfeeding support, referrals, and a selection of nutritious foods that are essential for promoting health and well-being. By focusing on nutrient-rich options that are often missing from the diets of women and young children, WIC helps reduce the risk of premature births while supporting longer and healthier pregnancies. Eligibility is open to pregnant women, infants, and children, with flexible income requirements and no citizenship mandate. To join, applicants are encouraged to bring essential documents such as proof of identity, residency, income, and participation in programs like Medicaid or SNAP.
