Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Based in Schenectady, NY, the Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five. Through our comprehensive services, we offer essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of nutritious foods that are crucial for healthy growth and development. Our mission is to empower families with the resources they need for longer, healthier pregnancies and improved outcomes for their children. WIC serves residents of New York State, regardless of U.S. citizenship, providing vital food assistance to those who meet our income guidelines or are enrolled in programs like Food Stamps and Medicaid. To get started, potential participants should bring documentation regarding identity, residency, income, and any applicable medical records to their appointment. We invite you to reach out and see how WIC can support you and your family on your journey to a healthier future.
