WIC provides nutritious foods, including milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, formula, baby food and more. WIC strongly promotes breastfeeding as the best way to feed your baby. Breastfeeding support is available through our WIC Nutritionists and the Peer Counselor Program (585) 753-5640. Formula is also available for infants who are either partially breastfed or fully formula fed. For more information on breastfeeding, please click below:
WIC has been shown to improve the health of pregnant women, new mothers and their infants and children. The foods provided through WIC are a good source of essential nutrients that are often missing from the diets of women and young children. Pregnant women on WIC have longer healthier pregnancies and fewer premature births.
