At Nili’s Home, we understand the importance of ensuring every child has access to nutritious food and essential healthcare services. The New Jersey WIC Program plays a crucial role in supporting families and children by providing supplemental foods, healthcare referrals, and nutrition education. This program is especially beneficial for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as infants and children up to age five who are at nutritional risk.
