Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program in Plaquemine, LA, is dedicated to fostering the health and well-being of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. Through our comprehensive food assistance initiatives, WIC offers supplemental foods rich in essential nutrients crucial for growth and development. We prioritize education by providing nutrition guidance that empowers families to adopt healthier eating habits, and we offer valuable support and resources for breastfeeding. Additionally, we connect participants with important health services, ensuring access to the care and support that families need to thrive.
