Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Mesquite, TX is dedicated to improving the nutrition and health of moms, infants, and young children who are at nutritional risk. Focused on education and support, WIC offers personalized nutrition counseling and engaging classes designed for both mothers and their children, welcoming fathers and guardians as well. Our program promotes breastfeeding by providing expert guidance and, in many cases, complimentary breast pumps. Participants also gain access to monthly food benefits that can be used to purchase nutritious items like iron-fortified infant formula, fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. WIC extends its services by connecting families to essential health and social services, ensuring comprehensive support for eligible pregnant women, those breastfeeding, and parents or guardians of young children under five. To qualify, families must meet income guidelines and demonstrate nutritional needs, and interested individuals are encouraged to apply in person at our clinic in Mesquite.
