The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in Harlingen, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children at risk of nutrition-related issues. Our mission is centered on empowering families through comprehensive nutrition education, providing personalized counseling and engaging classes, including special sessions for children and supportive resources for fathers. WIC promotes the benefits of breastfeeding, offering guidance and, in many cases, free breast pumps to facilitate this essential bonding experience. Our program also supplies healthier food options, including iron-fortified infant formula, fresh fruits and vegetables, and dairy products, ensuring families have access to nutritious meals each month. Additionally, we connect clients with crucial health and social services to further support their wellness journey. Eligibility extends to pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers of infants under one year, and parents or guardians of children under five, all of whom must meet specific income guidelines. If you’re in need of vital food assistance and nutritional support, we warmly invite you to apply in person at our clinic.
