Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a vital program serving Monroe, NY, dedicated to ensuring that low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five receive essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to healthy food options. By providing nutritious foods often lacking in typical diets, WIC seeks to enhance the well-being of families, promoting longer, healthier pregnancies and reducing the risk of premature births. WIC is open to residents of New York State, including non-U.S. citizens, who meet specific income eligibility criteria or participate in programs such as Food Stamps or Medicaid. To access our services, applicants are encouraged to bring necessary documentation, including proof of identity, residency, income, and immunization records for children. Together, we can nurture the health and future of our community's mothers and young children.
