Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC)

The Louisiana Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) in Deridder is dedicated to ensuring that pregnant women, new mothers, and young children have access to essential nutrition and health resources. This supportive program offers low-income families vital nutritional education, breastfeeding support, and access to nutritious foods, all aimed at promoting healthy growth and development. Through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, WIC empowers participants with crucial information and resources, including nutrient-rich supplemental foods and referrals for additional health services. To begin the process, individuals are encouraged to schedule an appointment at their local WIC clinic, where eligibility will be assessed and guidance provided on necessary documentation. Our mission is to create a healthier community by fostering wellness in families, one nutritious step at a time.
