Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in New Orleans, LA, is a vital program dedicated to supporting low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, along with infants and children up to five years old who face nutritional challenges. The Louisiana WIC program is committed to enhancing health and nutrition by providing access to nutritious foods, offering valuable nutrition education to promote healthy eating habits, and delivering essential information and encouragement for breastfeeding. Additionally, WIC assists families by making referrals to healthcare services, ensuring comprehensive support for growth and development. If you are enrolled in Louisiana Medicaid, SNAP, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), LA CHIP, or LA MOMS, you qualify for WIC, and caregivers of young children are also welcome to apply. Together, we strive to foster healthy beginnings and brighter futures for our community's families.
