WIC

WIC is a federally-funded public health nutrition program administered through the Texas Department of State Health Services. The program is exceptional among federally administered programs in that it provides support to a specific population: pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding or have recently had a baby, infants, and children up to the age of five.

The Supplemental Nutrition Access Program (SNAP) is a federally funded program designed to provide access to healthy food for citizens who can’t otherwise afford it.  SNAP assistance is often referred to as "food stamps," but rather than stamps, recipients receive a debit card they can use to purchase food at grocery stores and farmer’s markets.

Harris Health is a community-focused academic healthcare system dedicated to improving the health of those most in need in Harris County through quality care delivery, coordination of care, and education.​
