Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Patchogue, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five. Our program provides essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and a diverse selection of nutritious foods designed to fill dietary gaps often experienced by women and young children. By participating in WIC, families benefit from improved health outcomes, including longer, healthier pregnancies and fewer premature births. Eligibility encompasses pregnant women, infants, children, and breastfeeding mothers—all of whom must meet income guidelines or receive assistance through programs like Food Stamps or Medicaid. To get started with WIC, individuals are invited to bring proof of identity, residency, income, and, if applicable, participation in assistance programs, along with important health documentation. We warmly welcome caregivers to visit us for support in accessing the resources needed to promote good health and nutrition for their families.
