Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) located in Mission, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children at risk for nutrition-related issues. Through personalized nutrition education, WIC empowers families with knowledge to foster healthy eating habits. Participants benefit from one-on-one counseling, group classes for children, and comprehensive breastfeeding support, including free breast pumps for nursing mothers. Each month, WIC provides vouchers for essential nutritious foods such as iron-fortified infant formula, fresh fruits, milk, eggs, and more, tailored to meet the needs of each family. WIC also connects clients to valuable health and social services. This vital program supports pregnant women, new mothers, and caretakers of children under five, ensuring that those with household incomes at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level receive the assistance they need. To access these resources, individuals must apply in person at their local WIC clinic, where they will receive a health screening to assess eligibility. WIC is here to ensure that families in Mission have the nutritional support they deserve.
