Participant Speak Up for the Future of WIC

The WIC Association of New York State is collecting stories from WIC participants across the state. We want to hear what WIC looks like in your life — the support it gives, the challenges you face, and what could make it better.

Your voice will help paint a fuller picture of WIC in our communities. These stories will be part of a bigger effort to show just how much WIC matters — and why it should continue to grow and improve.

Even if you’ve never shared before, your experience counts. Together, our voices can help make WIC stronger for everyone.

Thank you for being part of this.
