Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Amarillo, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of infants, children, and pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women who are at risk for nutrition-related illnesses. Our mission focuses on empowering mothers through evidence-based nutrition education, individualized counseling, and classes aimed at fostering proper dietary habits for their children. WIC provides valuable breastfeeding support, including guidance and access to free breast pumps, while emphasizing the importance of breastfeeding for infant health. Participants receive monthly benefits to purchase nutritious foods, such as iron-fortified formula, cereal, milk, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. WIC also connects families with essential health and social services. Eligibility is open to pregnant women, new mothers, and caregivers of young children under five who meet income guidelines and nutritional risk criteria. Income verification considers all household members, including unborn babies, ensuring accessible support for all families in need.
