Women, Infants, Children (WIC)

At Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Whitestone, NY, we are dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children up to age five. Our comprehensive Special Supplemental Nutrition Program provides vital nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of nutritious foods that are essential for promoting good health during these critical life stages. WIC is designed to resolve nutrition gaps often found in diets of women and young children, contributing to longer, healthier pregnancies and reducing the risk of premature births. We welcome New York State residents who meet specific income eligibility guidelines or receive assistance from programs such as Food Stamps, Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. To enroll, prospective participants should prepare necessary documentation for their appointment, such as proof of identity, residency, income, and any relevant medical forms.
