Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Schenectady, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to the age of five. Through our Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, we provide essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of nutritious foods, all aimed at fostering good health for families in need. Our services ensure that participants enjoy longer, healthier pregnancies and reduce the risk of premature births while addressing common nutritional gaps in their diets. WIC is accessible to residents of New York State who meet specific eligibility criteria, including various income guidelines, and does not require U.S. citizenship. To benefit from our program, individuals must have necessary documentation, including proof of identity and income. We invite those who qualify to visit us for support and to discover the impactful resources we offer to promote healthier communities.
