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, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and young children at risk of nutrition-related issues. With a strong emphasis on nutrition education, WIC offers personalized counseling and informative classes, including special programs for children and support for family members. We provide breastfeeding assistance, including free breast pumps, and guide mothers on the benefits of breastfeeding while balancing their responsibilities. Our program also supplies nutritious food benefits each month, allowing families to purchase essential items like iron-fortified infant formula, fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. WIC is accessible to pregnant women, new mothers, and guardians of children under five, with eligibility based on income and nutritional risk. We are committed to connecting families with vital health and social services, ensuring a strong foundation for healthy generations. To join, individuals can apply in person at our facilities in San Benito, ensuring that everyone has access to the nourishment they need.
