Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Ridgewood, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five. We provide essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of nutritious foods that are vital for the development of mothers and their children. Our program not only helps individuals meet nutritional needs but also promotes healthier pregnancies and reduces the incidence of premature births. To qualify, applicants must be a pregnant woman, infant, child up to five years old, a mother of a baby up to six months old, or a breastfeeding mother of a baby up to twelve months old. Residency in New York State is required, but U.S. citizenship is not a barrier. We welcome participants who meet income guidelines or are receiving benefits from programs like Food Stamps or Medicaid. For a smooth application process, please bring the necessary documents to your appointment. Join us at WIC in Ridgewood to empower your family's health through proper nutrition.
