Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in San Benito, TX, is dedicated to enhancing the health and nutrition of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children who are at risk for diet-related health issues. Our mission centers on empowering families through tailored nutrition education, helping mothers understand the fundamental role of proper nutrition for their children. WIC provides free individual counseling, engaging group classes, and vital breastfeeding support, including complimentary breast pumps for new mothers. Each month, participants receive essential benefits that can be used to purchase iron-fortified infant formula, cereal, fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, eggs, and more, ensuring access to nutritious foods. We also offer referrals to various health and social services to further support families in need. Eligible clients include pregnant and postpartum women, breastfeeding mothers, and guardians of children under five, provided they meet specific income guidelines. Those interested in accessing our resources must apply in person at our local clinic in San Benito, where we are ready to assist you on your journey to better health and nutrition.
