WIC
WIC • Women, Infants & Children
Nourishing your family from the very start
The Women, Infants & Children Program (WIC) is a free resource offered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for pregnant women, new parents, and children under five. This program provides access to healthy food, nutrition guidance, breastfeeding support, and other services at no cost, ensuring children get the best start in life. With WIC, participants become part of a supportive community that helps them nurture their growing family in the healthiest way possible.
WIC Services
The Texas WIC Program focuses on several key goals to help keep families healthy. These goals include reducing complications during pregnancy and labor, increasing the number of breastfeeding mothers, lowering the rates of iron-deficiency anemia in mothers and children, and promoting the growth and development of young children. The program achieves these goals through various resources, including online classes, individual nutrition counseling, breastfeeding support, and online recipes. Learn more by visiting TexasWIC.org.
WIC-Approved Recipes
The Texas WIC Program offers an extensive online library of simple, healthy meal and snack recipes, including options that are safe for those with allergies.
Breastfeeding Support
Hands-on support to help more mothers start and continue breastfeeding. Once a month, we offer a free in-person breastfeeding class at our West and Northwest WIC Campuses.
