The New York Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program in Wayne County enables single mothers and fathers to fill their children’s dietary needs. NY WIC has thousands of approved foods, including healthy choices such as fruits, vegetables, 100% juice, whole grain products, infant formula, milk, eggs, and more. WIC helps New York families succeed and gives them funds they need to eat foods necessary for health, strength, and happiness.
The SPCC of NY recognizes the importance of WIC in enabling parents to put the needs of children first, as well as improving their own health and nutrition. With benefits such as nutrition assessment, education, support from other parents, breastfeeding counseling, and monthly checks to purchase nutritious foods, Wayne County WIC can make a major difference for eligible families. Parents with children up to age 5 can apply for state WIC benefits today.
SPCC WIC continues to provide services through this trying time.
We will continue to provide ALL Services over the phone until further notice.
Our procedures have been put in place to help protect our families, our staff and our community during this COVID-19 outbreak.
*Prior to your appointment, please update your phone number with us if it has recently changed!
HELPFUL COVID-19 TIPS
Regular hand washing can help prevent the spread of germs and is one of the best ways to avoid catching or transmitting COVID-19. You and your child should wash your hands for 20 seconds—the length of time it takes to sing the ABC song—after coming in from playing outside, before preparing meals and after going to the bathroom.
Lavarse las manos con regularidad es una de las mejores maneras de evitar contagiarse o propagar el COVID-19. Enséñales a tus hijos a lavárselas durante por lo menos 20 segundos, lo que toma cantar la canción del alfabeto.
We are in this together! Help your neighbors on WIC by leaving items with a WIC-approved label on the shelves. These are for WIC participants who must follow set guidelines for the foods (including brands and sizes) that they can purchase with their WIC benefits. If we leave WIC-approved items on the shelves, we can ensure that WIC participants do not go home empty handed. #WICStrong #InThisTogether
Ahora es común ver estantes vacíos en el mercado. Si no participas en WIC —y no reúnes los requisitos para los beneficios de WIC— por favor, piensa dos veces antes de comprar alimentos con una etiqueta de aprobación de WIC al lado del precio. Estos alimentos son para los participantes en WIC, quienes deben seguir ciertas normas sobre qué alimentos comprar (además de marcas y tamaños) con sus beneficios de WIC. Por favor, ten en cuenta las necesidades de tu vecino. #WICStrong #JuntosEnEstas
We must all play our part to avoid stockpiling key products – like infant formula – to ensure that all shoppers can purchase the products they need. WIC participants are our neighbors, our friends, and our community. #YouGotThis

The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) provides checks to women, infants and children for the purchase of locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be purchased with checks at farmers' markets during the summer and fall. The program runs from June - November 30.
Importance of Fruits and Vegetables
Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories and provide essential nutrients and dietary fiber. They may also play a role in preventing certain chronic diseases. The Dietary Guidelines recommend filling half your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables at each meal.
Who Benefits from the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program?
FMNP checks enable WIC participants to obtain nutritious, fresh produce in addition to the foods WIC provides. In 2016, there were 600 farmers’ markets operating in New York State and nearly 1,000 farmers participating in the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program.
In addition to distributing fresh vegetables and fruits, the FMNP provides nutrition education in a variety of settings.
The Authorized Markets and Farmers
Markets and farmers enrolled in the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program offer customers with $4.00 FMNP checks a place to spend their benefit for fresh, local, unprocessed fruits, vegetables and culinary herbs. Below is a list by county, of current farmers’ markets, farm stands and mobile markets enrolled in the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program.
A list of NYS farmers’ markets by region can be found below.
