The Benjamin's Pharmacy Experience for Families

The Benjamin's Pharmacy Experience for Families

Whether you're using WIC benefits or simply seeking reliable pharmacy services with home delivery, Benjamin's Pharmacy has become a lifeline for New York families. When Sarah couldn't find her baby's specialized formula anywhere in Brooklyn, she was desperate. "After searching everywhere, Benjamin's Pharmacy came through!" she recalls. "They not only had Enfamil Gentlease Neuropro when no one else did, but they delivered it right to my door."

When Every Store Says "Out of Stock"

Sarah's story echoes across New York City, where Benjamin's Pharmacy at 989 Allerton Ave in the Bronx has become known for helping families during the most challenging times.

"Being that there was a high shortage of formula, I thought I would get the same answer I was getting from every WIC retailer," shares Maria, mother of a 4-month-old. "Benjamin's was the only place that had the product and delivered it directly to my door."

How WIC Online Shopping Changed Everything

The pharmacy's innovative WIC online shopping system transformed how families access their benefits. Instead of visiting multiple stores, parents can order WIC-approved dairy products (1% low-fat milk, fat-free milk, and whole milk), formula, baby food, and other approved items through the website, WhatsApp, text, or phone—with service available in multiple languages including Spanish. 

For Jaime, a mother of twins with special dietary needs, this service proved invaluable: "My girls needed a specific formula and Benjamin's had it! They delivered all my WIC to me no matter which borough I was in. The people are very kind and work with you."

The Human Touch Makes the Difference

When the delivery arrives, certified drivers process benefits securely at the door, offering FREE next-day delivery. "This helps especially postpartum moms who don't need to go into a store," explains one grateful customer.

What truly distinguishes Benjamin's is their personal approach. "They're more like family," shares a long-time customer. "The text reminders when my baby supplies needed restocking showed they cared enough to remember me."

When Problems Arise, Solutions Follow

For parents of children with special needs, dependable service isn't just convenient—it's essential. "Once I had an issue and I complained. Benjamin called me apologizing and promptly solved it," shares one mother. "He made a way to deliver my baby's formula very fast. If you are a mom of a special need's baby, you would value any effort done for your baby." This responsiveness has created deep trust among families who depend on specific nutritional products that can be difficult to find elsewhere.

For both WIC and non-WIC families, Benjamin's has become a trusted partner. As one mother puts it: "Being a new mom, doing basic tasks such as shopping for formula can become overwhelming. Benjamin's made something as simple as buying basic baby needs so easy with their self-explanatory ordering method and door-to-door delivery service."
