Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in San Benito, TX, is dedicated to fostering healthier futures for families by improving the nutrition of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women and their young children. Our mission revolves around providing personalized nutrition education and support to empower mothers with the knowledge they need for optimal infant and child nourishment. Participating in WIC grants access to comprehensive services including individualized counseling, breastfeeding guidance with resources like free breast pumps, and nutritious food benefits each month, which can be exchanged for items such as iron-fortified formulas, milk, eggs, and more at local grocery stores. We are committed to supporting eligible families, including those with low income and individuals at nutritional risk, with referrals to various health and social services. Applying for WIC is a straightforward process that requires an in-person visit, and we welcome all parents, guardians, and caregivers of children under five years old to explore how our program can make a difference in their lives.
