Women, Infants, & Children Nutrition Program (WIC)

WIC's goal is to help keep pregnant and breastfeeding women and kids under 5 healthy!  But, WIC is for all kinds of families: married and single parents, working or not working.  If you are a father, mother, grandparent, foster parent or other legal guardian of a child under 5, you can apply for WIC for your child.

The Massachusetts Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program provides vital nutrition care during pregnancy and early childhood.
