St. Joseph’s WIC Program

About this clinic

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), sponsored by St. Joseph’s, has had a major impact on the children of the area. This program, funded by the USDA, provides nutrition education, breastfeeding education and support, and nutritional supplements for pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, babies and children up to age five. Since 1975, the St. Joseph’s WIC Program has grown to be one of the largest in New Jersey, serving more than 21,000 people a month at 17 clinic sites in Passaic, Bergen and Morris counties.
