Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Brownsville, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of vulnerable populations, particularly infants, children, and women who are pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding. Focused on education and support, WIC offers personalized nutrition counseling, informative classes, and essential breastfeeding assistance, including access to free breast pumps. Participants receive monthly benefits to purchase nutritious foods, such as iron-fortified infant formula, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, ensuring that families have access to quality nutrition. Additionally, WIC connects clients to vital health and social services to support their overall well-being. Eligibility is based on income, nutritional risk, and residency in Texas, welcoming pregnant women, new mothers, and caregivers of children under five to apply. To take part in this important program, individuals must apply in person at a local clinic, reinforcing our commitment to providing direct and personal support to families in need.
