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, infants, and children up to age five who are at risk for nutrition-related issues. Our mission revolves around providing vital nutrition education, empowering families with knowledge about healthy diets for their growing children. Participants benefit from personalized nutrition counseling, engaging classes tailored for parents and children, and comprehensive breastfeeding support, including free breast pump rentals. Each month, WIC offers access to nutritious food options such as iron-fortified infant formula, whole grains, fresh produce, and dairy products, ensuring families can obtain the nourishment they need. Additionally, we connect clients to essential health and social services, fostering a supportive network for families. WIC welcomes applications from pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and guardians of young children in Texas, especially those whose household incomes are at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. To apply, individuals must visit our clinic in person and can schedule an appointment for assistance.
