Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

In Wappingers Falls, NY, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program offers essential nutrition assistance to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children up to five years old. Our mission is to enhance the health and well-being of these vulnerable populations through comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods. By providing the vital nutrients often lacking in the diets of women and young children, WIC helps foster healthier pregnancies, reduce the incidence of premature births, and promote the overall health of families. Residents of New York State are encouraged to apply, regardless of U.S. citizenship, as long as they meet specific income eligibility requirements or are recipients of programs like Food Stamps, Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. To apply, prospective participants should bring necessary documentation, including proof of identity, residence, income, and relevant health records to their appointment. Join us in our commitment to nurturing a healthier future for mothers and children in our community.
