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 women, breastfeeding mothers, and young children who are at risk for nutrition-related health issues. Our mission revolves around empowering families with essential education about nutrition and providing practical support. Through personalized nutrition counseling and engaging classes, WIC helps mothers understand the best dietary practices for their little ones. We offer comprehensive breastfeeding support, including free breast pumps and guidance on balancing breastfeeding with work or school commitments. Additionally, WIC provides monthly food benefits that include iron-fortified infant formula, nutritious cereals, and a variety of healthy fruits and vegetables. Our program assists clients in accessing vital health services by connecting them with other community resources. WIC serves women who are pregnant or have given birth in the past six months, as well as parents and guardians of children under five, all while adhering to income eligibility guidelines. To benefit from our services, clients must apply in person, and we encourage families in need to join our supportive community focused on fostering healthy growth for children.
