Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Weslaco, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children at risk of nutrition-related issues. With a commitment to education, WIC provides individual nutrition counseling and classes tailored for mothers and their families, alongside support to encourage breastfeeding, including free breast pumps when necessary. Our program offers monthly benefits to purchase nutritious foods such as iron-fortified infant formula, vitamin C-rich juices, dairy products, and more, ensuring families receive the nourishment they need. WIC also connects clients to essential health and social service referrals. We welcome pregnant women, new mothers, and caregivers of children under five years old who meet our income and nutritional risk criteria to apply for support. While private health insurance and jobs do not disqualify applicants, an in-person appointment is necessary to begin the enrollment process. Join us to empower your family's journey toward better health.
