The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Wakefield, MA, is a vital federally-funded initiative dedicated to improving the health and nutrition of women, infants, and children. We offer essential services such as nutrition education, healthy food vouchers, and referrals to healthcare and community resources. WIC supports families by providing personalized counseling on topics including breastfeeding, infant nutrition, and meal planning on a budget. Our participants receive a WIC card to obtain nutritious foods from local grocery stores and pharmacies, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and infant formula. Additionally, we encourage healthy eating through our Good Food Project, featuring weekly discussions on nutrition, recipes, and smart shopping tips. Our program is designed for pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as children under five years old from low to medium-income families. We invite you to connect with us by scheduling an appointment or applying online to access the support you need.
