Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Denton, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children at nutritional risk. By providing comprehensive nutrition education, WIC empowers mothers with the knowledge they need about healthy eating for themselves and their children. Our services include individualized nutrition counseling and specialized classes for all family members. We offer vital breastfeeding support, ensuring mothers receive the encouragement and resources they need, including free breast pumps when necessary. WIC also supplies monthly benefits for nutritious foods such as iron-fortified infant formula, cereals, and vitamin-rich juices, tailored to the unique needs of our families. Additionally, we connect clients with health and social services that further support their wellbeing. To qualify for WIC, applicants must meet income guidelines—households at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level—and complete a health screening at one of our clinics. Even employed individuals or those with private insurance may apply, ensuring that essential food assistance is accessible to those in need. We invite interested families to visit us in person to begin their journey towards better health and nutrition.
