Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Desoto, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children at risk of nutrition-related issues. Our mission is to empower families through education and support, providing essential resources like individual nutrition counseling, engaging classes tailored for both parents and children, and comprehensive breastfeeding support. WIC also offers nutritious food benefits each month, including iron-fortified infant formula, cereals, and vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables that can be redeemed at local grocery stores. We ensure that families not only gain access to healthy foods but also receive referrals to vital health and social services. Eligibility includes pregnant women, new mothers, and parents of children under five, with income guidelines set to assist those at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. At WIC, we welcome families from all walks of life, reinforcing the importance of proper nutrition and support for a healthy start in life.
