Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in South Richmond Hill, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to age five. Through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, we provide vital nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and a selection of nutritious foods that are often lacking in the diets of mothers and young children. Our services contribute to longer, healthier pregnancies and significantly reduce the risk of premature births. Eligible participants must be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have children within the specified age range, and while residency in New York State is required, U.S. citizenship is not. To apply, individuals should bring necessary documentation, including proof of identity, income, and residency. Join us at WIC to support your family's health and well-being with our comprehensive resources and assistance.
