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 infants, children, and pregnant or breastfeeding women facing nutritional challenges. Our mission revolves around empowering mothers with essential education on proper nutrition for themselves and their young ones, which is provided through personalized counseling and engaging nutrition classes tailored for families. We support breastfeeding mothers with guidance and access to free breast pumps, ensuring they have the resources necessary to nourish their babies effectively. Additionally, WIC offers monthly benefits for nutritious foods, including iron-fortified formula, healthy cereals, and vitamin-rich juices, all aimed at building strong foundations for children under five. We serve a broad community, welcoming not only eligible women but also parents and guardians of young children, all committed to improving their nutritional well-being. Clients must apply in person, and we are here to assist you in navigating the process. Eligible households in Texas, regardless of their employment or health insurance status, are encouraged to reach out and secure vital food assistance for their families.
