About Women, Infants, Children (WIC)
Women, Infants, Children (WIC) in Ithaca, NY, is dedicated to nurturing the health and well-being of low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children up to five years old through essential food assistance programs. Our mission is to provide comprehensive nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to a variety of nutritious foods to ensure the healthiest outcomes for families. WIC not only helps improve the nutritional intake of women and young children but also promotes healthier pregnancies and reduces the risks of premature births. To participate, individuals must meet specific criteria related to pregnancy, age, residency in New York State, and income eligibility, and our caring team is ready to assist with the application process. Families are encouraged to bring necessary documentation such as proof of identity, residency, income, and medical records to their appointment.
