Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Rome, NY, is dedicated to fostering the health of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five through essential nutrition assistance. Our program provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a diverse selection of nutritious foods, aimed at ensuring that mothers and their young ones receive the vital nutrients often lacking in their diets. By participating in WIC, families can experience longer pregnancies, healthier birth outcomes, and enhanced overall well-being. Eligibility is open to pregnant women, infants, young children, and new mothers, regardless of citizenship, as long as they meet income guidelines or are recipients of programs like Food Stamps or Medicaid. To get started, bring necessary documents to your appointment, including proof of identity, residence, income, and any health care confirmations. Together, we work to build a healthier future for families in our community.
