Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Rochester, NY, is dedicated to improving health outcomes for low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five through essential food assistance and nutrition education. Our program offers breastfeeding support, health referrals, and access to nutritious foods that are often lacking in the diets of women and young children, ensuring healthier pregnancies and reducing the risk of premature births. To qualify for our services, applicants must be residents of New York State and meet specific income guidelines or participate in programs such as Food Stamps or Medicaid. We encourage those in need to bring necessary documentation to their appointment, including proof of identity, residency, and income, as well as any relevant health information. At WIC, we are committed to fostering a healthier future for families in our community by providing the vital resources and support they need.
