Vernon WIC

2400 Texas, Vernon, TX

This is the smallest food package for moms and babies. This package includes more formula than the partially breastfeeding package, but not all the formula your baby may need. The amount of formula will vary depending on the age of your baby. 

You can also choose to feed your baby only or mostly formula with some breastfeeding. The amount of formula provided by WIC may not be enough to meet the nutritional needs of your baby, so you should breastfeed any time you and your baby are together so you won’t have to buy more formula.

If you choose this package, your baby will receive the following foods throughout his or her first year. You will receive foods for yourself only during the first six months.

As a WIC mom, you will receive breastfeeding support.
