Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Port Chester, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, infants, and children up to age five. As part of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, we provide vital nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods that are essential for healthy development. Our program not only helps to fill nutritional gaps in diets but also contributes to healthier pregnancies and better outcomes for both mothers and their children. Eligibility includes being a pregnant woman, an infant or child up to five years old, or a mother of a baby under six months. Residents of New York State can apply, regardless of U.S. citizenship, provided they meet income guidelines or receive certain benefits such as Medicaid or SNAP. To participate, individuals must provide proof of identity, residency, income, and medical documents at their appointment. Join us in fostering a healthier future for our community's mothers and children by reaching out to your local WIC office to get started.
