Food Assistance with the WIC Program

May 30, 2024

Do you need help meeting your family’s food and nutrition needs? WIC may be able to help.

WIC is a nutrition program that provides healthy foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare and other services, free of charge, to Massachusetts families who qualify.

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.

You may qualify for WIC if you:
* Live in Massachusetts
* Have a nutritional need
* Are a child under 5
* Are pregnant or breastfeeding * Have a family income equal to or less than WIC guidelines

WIC representatives will be at South Boston Community Health Center
* Every 1st & 3rd Saturdays from 9AM – 1PM (except July 6th)
* First Floor of 409 West Broadway in the Convenient Care department

No appointment is necessary so please stop by to speak with WIC representatives and see if WIC might be right for your family. All are welcome!

“It's very efficient and has very little wait time. We've enjoyed working with Jocelyn Guggenheim. The assistant who came to give vaccines was very great in our last visit as well.”

“I was late to the appointment and still found a way to see you. I was 10 minutes late. The check-in staff knew I was sick and still made it happen. I got my glasses, so everything was fast and good. Everything that I said, I liked.”

“Dr. Dal Molin is excellent at what she does, explains everything that she is doing, and recommends the care that I need. I think that the staff and the care I get from Dr. Dal Molin are excellent and would recommend the office to anybody that asks; they are just very caring people there. I just like the staff there a lot.”

“We are an elderly couple who have been patients at the SBCHC clinic for many years. Dr. Saxena stands out for correctness and creating a warm and very communicative doctor-patient environment. The doctor listens very attentively and calmly to everything you tell him. Simplicity in communication, diagnosis, and continuous patient condition monitoring make this doctor stand out from the rest.”
