Target does not accept WIC in Texas. However, there are a number of other stores that do, including Walmart, Kroger, and HEB.
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is a federally funded program that provides supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.
In order to participate in the WIC program, applicants must meet certain income guidelines. For example, in Texas, a family of four can make no more than $39,196 per year to qualify.
Once income eligibility has been determined, applicants must also complete a nutrition assessment with a WIC staff member. This assessment includes questions about the applicant’s medical history and eating habits. Based on the answers to these questions, the WIC staff member will determine whether or not the applicant is at nutritional risk and in need of the supplemental foods and services that WIC provides.
If you live in Texas and meet the income requirements for the WIC program, you can apply for benefits at any Texas WIC clinic. To find a clinic near you, click here.
