Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Watertown, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the nutrition and health of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old. Our Special Supplemental Nutrition Program provides essential nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of healthy foods to low-income families. By offering nutrient-rich food options often lacking in the diets of women and young children, WIC plays a vital role in improving health outcomes, fostering longer and healthier pregnancies, and reducing instances of premature births. To benefit from our services, eligible participants include pregnant women, infants, children under five, new mothers, and breastfeeding mothers. Residents of New York State can apply regardless of citizenship, provided they meet income guidelines or receive assistance through programs like Food Stamps, Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. For those interested in joining WIC, we encourage you to bring necessary documents to your appointment, including proof of identity, residence, income, and any applicable medical forms. Join us in our mission to support nutritious living in Watertown and ensure our families thrive.
