Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Orange, TX is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women, new mothers, and young children who are at risk for nutrition-related health issues. Our mission is to empower families through comprehensive nutrition education, providing personalized counseling and engaging classes that focus on healthy habits. WIC emphasizes the importance of breastfeeding, offering resources such as free breast pumps and valuable guidance on how to navigate breastfeeding alongside work and family commitments. Participants also receive monthly benefits to acquire nutritious foods including infant formula, iron-fortified cereals, milk, fruits, and vegetables, ensuring they have access to vital nutrition. In addition to food assistance, WIC connects families with a network of health and social services to support their overall well-being. Eligibility extends to pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and parents or guardians of children under age five who meet income guidelines. It’s a call to action for families in need; those who live in Texas and believe they qualify are encouraged to visit our clinic for assistance with the application process.
