WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)

WIC is a supplemental food and nutrition program for pregnant women (or teens), children up to 5 years old, mothers of babies up to 6 months old, and breastfeeding mothers of babies up to 12 months old. WIC provides nutrition counseling, health education, nutritious foods, and breastfeeding support and information. It is a short-term program designed to help families build healthy eating and living habits that will last a lifetime. WIC participants have longer, healthier pregnancies and fewer premature births.

WIC provides nutrition counseling, health education, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, and information and referrals. Participants receive monthly benefits to purchase nutritious foods such as milk, cheese, eggs, cereal, fruit, vegetables, fruit juice, whole grain bread, whole grain tortillas or brown rice, peanut butter, dried beans or canned beans, infant formula, infant cereal, and baby food.

Participants learn how to choose healthy foods and prepare healthy meals and get help with breastfeeding. You also get referrals to other services you may need such as prenatal and postpartum care, childcare, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and family planning.

Participants must be New York State residents and income eligible.  You are income eligible for WIC if you receive Medicaid, Food Stamps, or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or if you meet the current income guidelines.

To see if you are eligible visit the New York State Department of Health WIC webpage and click on "Wanda", your personal WIC assistant.  She is located on the bottom, righthand corner of the page - wearing a purple shirt.  

Follow the online prompts to send your information requesting an appointment.  After we receive your contact information, we will reach out by phone to schedule an appointment.  

To learn more about what you will need to bring to your first WIC appointment, see the "Records to Bring to Your Appointment" section for a full list. 

Families who meet income guidelines will be assessed by a health care professional for medical or nutritional risks.
