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 pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and young children who are at risk of nutrition-related challenges. Our program provides vital services including personalized nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and nutritious food assistance tailored to the needs of each client. Participants benefit from comprehensive nutrition counseling, classes that welcome all family members, and resources such as free breast pumps to support successful breastfeeding. Each month, WIC offers food benefits that allow families to purchase essential items like iron-fortified infant formula, fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, and whole grains. We also connect clients to additional health and social services to ensure they receive comprehensive support. WIC services are available to pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and caregivers of children under five, all within the income eligibility guidelines. For those in the Brownsville area seeking to improve their family's nutrition, we encourage you to visit our clinic for more information and to participate in our empowering programs.
