The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Supplemental Food Program in Westwego, LA, is dedicated to fostering healthy eating habits among low-income pregnant and postpartum women, as well as infants and children up to five years old. Our mission is to ensure that families receive essential nutritional support through access to supplemental foods rich in vital nutrients that promote growth and development. We offer comprehensive nutrition education to enhance dietary practices, alongside vital resources and encouragement for breastfeeding mothers. Additionally, we provide referrals for other necessary health services to help support overall family well-being. If you participate in the Louisiana Medicaid Program, SNAP (Food Stamp) Program, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), LA CHIP, or LA MOMS benefits, you likely meet the eligibility criteria for our services. Caregivers of children aged five and under are also warmly welcomed to join our program to secure the nutritional assistance they need for their families.
