Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Rome, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old through essential food assistance and supportive services. As part of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, WIC provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods that often fill dietary gaps for women and young children. Our mission is to empower participants with the resources they need for longer, healthier pregnancies and to reduce the likelihood of premature births. To qualify for our services, applicants must be residents of New York State, meet specific income guidelines, and be assessed by a WIC healthcare professional. We invite eligible families to bring their proof of identity, residence, income, and other required documents to apply for our vital food assistance programs.
