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 vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children at risk for nutrition-related issues. Our mission centers on empowering families through tailored nutrition education, which includes individual counseling and engaging classes for clients and their children. WIC also provides invaluable breastfeeding support, offering guidance on breastfeeding techniques, storage of breast milk, and access to breast pumps at no cost. In addition to education, we ensure eligible families receive monthly benefits for nutritious foods such as iron-fortified infant formula, fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and more. To qualify for WIC, households must meet specific income guidelines and live in Texas, ensuring that even those who are employed or privately insured can access our vital services. We welcome parents, guardians, and foster parents of children under five to apply in person and begin their journey towards improved nutrition and well-being.
