Utica WIC

Utica WIC is the Utica site of WIC, the federal nutrition program for women, infants and children. WIC helps eligible families get healthy foods and nutrition support during pregnancy and the early years of a child’s life, and it is a familiar part of community health services in Oneida County.

Beyond food benefits, WIC programs generally offer nutrition education, breastfeeding support and referrals to other health and community services. Families who think they might qualify can learn about eligibility through the local office, where staff can explain what the program covers.
