WIC works
The Health Department's Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program (WIC), has recently changed to a fully automated system and is able to print up to three months of food vouchers for eligible participants.
WIC serves as a health, nutrition and prevention program in Nassau and is considered the most cost effective, preventative nutrition program of its time.
WIC participants receive food vouchers, redeemable at local grocery stores and pharmacies, for infant formula and nutritious foods, such as milk, cheese, fruit juices, iron-fortified cereals, peanut butter, dried beans and eggs.
Nassau County Health Department provides WIC services to over 10,500 income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding and post-partum women, infants, and children up to age five who are determined to be at medical and/or nutritional risk. Current WIC financial eligibility includes a family of four with a gross annual income of up to $32,653, or a pregnant woman with a gross annual income of up to $21,479.
