Healthy moms. Healthy kids.
Hi, I’m Wanda! Chat with me to learn about WIC! You can also find more information below.
WIC helps families.
WIC supports moms, moms-to-be, and their families with:
- healthy food
- nutrition education
- breastfeeding support
- referrals to other services
You may be eligible for WIC.
You may be eligible if you:
- live in New York
- are pregnant or have a child under age 5
- meet income guidelines
Dads, grandparents, and primary caregivers can apply for children under 5 in their care. Working families and non-U.S. citizens can qualify, too.
WIC can help you.
To learn more, chat with Wanda, WIC’s 24/7 virtual assistant. In less than 3 minutes, you can see if you may be eligible and get a referral to your local WIC Office. Wanda is available in English and Spanish.
$26-$52/Month for Fruits & Veggies!
Most WIC kids and moms get $26-$52/month to buy fruits and veggies. Not getting WIC yet? Chat with Wanda, WIC’s 24/7 virtual assistant, to see if you are eligible!
Shopping is easier with eWIC!
WIC benefits are now given on an eWIC card. No more paper checks! The card is used just like a debit card at WIC-approved stores.
WIC provides pregnant women, new and breastfeeding moms, and children under age five with healthy food, breastfeeding support, nutrition education, and referrals to other helpful services. Dads, grandparents, and primary caregivers can also apply for children in their care.
WIC can improve lifetime health for women, their infants, and young children. WIC may be able to help you and your child!
