Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Supplemental Food Program in Chalmette, LA, is dedicated to fostering healthy nutrition for low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. WIC provides essential access to nutrient-rich supplemental foods tailored to support growth and development, alongside valuable nutrition education aimed at enhancing dietary habits. Our team is committed to offering information and encouragement for breastfeeding and connects families to various health services that can provide additional support. If you participate in the Louisiana Medicaid Program, SNAP (Food Stamp Program), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), LA CHIP, or LA MOMS benefits, you likely meet the income guidelines for WIC. Caregivers of young children are also welcome to apply for assistance through our program, helping to ensure that every family has the resources they need for a healthier future.
