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, specifically pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and young children at risk of nutrition-related illnesses. Our mission is to empower families through comprehensive education on proper nutrition and provide vital resources. Participants benefit from personalized nutrition counseling, informative classes, and essential breastfeeding support, including access to free breast pumps. Each month, WIC issues nutrition benefits for healthy foods like iron-fortified infant formula, cereal, fruits, and vegetables to ensure families have access to nutritious options. We also connect clients to additional health and social services, fostering a supportive network for families. Eligible individuals, including pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and guardians of children under five, can receive assistance based on income guidelines and nutritional assessments. We invite you to come in for a screening to see how WIC can help you and your family thrive.
