Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Odessa, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children at risk for nutrition-related illnesses. WIC prioritizes educating mothers on proper nutrition, offering personalized nutrition counseling and classes designed to support both mothers and their young children. Our program provides vital breastfeeding support, offering resources like free breast pumps and guidance on effective breastfeeding practices, while also empowering fathers to take an active role in this important journey. Each month, WIC participants receive benefits to purchase nutritious foods such as iron-fortified infant formula, milk, eggs, and whole fruits, helping families maintain a healthy diet. Additionally, we connect clients with essential health and social services through referrals. Eligibility for WIC extends to pregnant women, mothers breastfeeding infants under a year old, and guardians of children under five, as long as household income is within the specified limits. If you're looking to improve your family's nutritional health, we invite you to visit us in Odessa to apply in person and discover the support available to you.
