Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Valley Stream, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of families during critical early years. By offering financial assistance for purchasing essential foods, WIC ensures that participants can make healthier choices and stretch their resources further to include a variety of other nutritious options. Our comprehensive program provides not only food support but also nutrition education, helping families learn to prepare healthy meals and select wholesome foods. We offer breastfeeding support and connect families to additional services, ensuring a robust network of care. To tailor our offerings, WIC staff conducts a brief health screening for all applying family members, evaluating health and nutrition needs while determining the right food packages for you and your children. For those with specific dietary requirements, we can provide guidance on utilizing New York State WIC Approved Formulas. Join us in nurturing the well-being of our community's mothers and children through vital food assistance and education.
