Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Supplemental Food Program in Westwego, LA, is dedicated to fostering healthy nutritional practices among low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. Our program offers access to nutritious supplemental foods essential for growth and development, coupled with comprehensive nutrition education to enhance dietary habits and overall health. We are here to provide vital support for breastfeeding, along with referrals to additional health services as needed. If you are enrolled in Louisiana Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, LA CHIP, or LA MOMS, you automatically qualify based on income guidelines. Caregivers of children aged five and under are also welcome to apply for WIC. For further details on eligibility and application requirements, please visit us in Westwego.
