Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

In Richmond Hill, NY, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five by providing essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and healthy food options. This Special Supplemental Nutrition Program is designed for low-income families, ensuring that participants receive crucial nutrients often missing from their diets, which contributes to better pregnancy outcomes and healthier development for children. WIC is accessible to New York residents, regardless of U.S. citizenship, and provides benefits to those who meet income eligibility criteria or are already receiving assistance through programs like Food Stamps or Medicaid. To get started, applicants should bring identification, proof of residency, income documentation, and any necessary medical records to their appointment. Join us as we support families in achieving better health through informed nutrition and dedicated care.
