Description
This map shows the locations of sites across NYS where WIC services are delivered and the locations of agencies that oversee WIC vendors (Vendor Management Associations). Each type of site is represented by a different color on the map. Temporary sites may not be located in a permanent location and may have limited hours of operation. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) offers nutrition education, breastfeeding support, referrals and a variety of nutritious foods to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding or postpartum women, infants and children up to age five to promote and support good health.
