Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Harlingen, TX is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women, new mothers, and children under the age of five who are at risk of nutrition-related health issues. Our mission revolves around empowering families with essential nutrition education, individual counseling, and hands-on support. Participants benefit from breastfeeding support, including free breast pumps and guidance for balancing breastfeeding with work, as well as comprehensive classes that welcome all family members. Each month, WIC provides families with nutritious foods that include iron-fortified infant formula, cereals, fresh produce, milk, and more, ensuring access to healthy options. Additionally, we connect families with other vital health and social services. WIC aims to assist those who meet our eligibility criteria, including low-income households and individuals experiencing nutritional vulnerabilities, helping them on their journey towards better health. Interested families can apply in person at our local clinic in Harlingen, where our friendly staff is ready to support you.
