Women, Infant and Children (WIC)

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in Woodside, NY, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children up to age five. WIC delivers vital nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to wholesome foods that provide essential nutrients often missing from the diets of women and children. By participating in WIC, families benefit from longer, healthier pregnancies and a decrease in premature births. Our program welcomes pregnant women, infants, and children, including mothers breastfeeding babies up to 12 months, regardless of U.S. citizenship. To join, applicants must meet income guidelines or receive benefits from programs like Food Stamps, Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. We invite you to bring necessary documentation such as proof of identity, residency, and income when visiting us for an assessment with a WIC health care professional. Together, we can foster healthier futures for families in our community.
