Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC)

Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH)

The Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC) in Houston, MS, is dedicated to supporting low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, along with infants and children up to five years old, by fostering healthy food practices and improving nutritional outcomes. Through our comprehensive services, we offer nutrition education, access to supplemental foods, and vital breastfeeding promotion and support, as well as referrals to essential health care services. To access WIC benefits, families are required to apply in person at their local county health department or WIC clinic, ensuring personalized guidance and assistance. We understand that bringing newborns to the clinic can be challenging, which is why we provide a 60-day period for parents to complete their child’s initial appointment. We invite families to reach out to our local WIC clinics for more information about the vital services we provide to promote the health and well-being of their loved ones.
