Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC)

The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) in San Benito, TX, is dedicated to fostering the health and nutrition of vulnerable populations, including pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, as well as infants and children at risk for nutrition-related issues. Our mission focuses on empowering mothers with essential nutrition education and providing individualized counseling and supportive classes tailored to their needs. We offer breastfeeding support, including expert guidance and complimentary breast pumps, to help mothers give their babies the best start. Additionally, WIC provides monthly benefits, allowing families to purchase nutritious foods like iron-fortified infant formula, whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables at local grocery stores. Referrals to relevant health and social services further enhance the care we provide. Our services are available to pregnant women, new mothers, and parents or guardians of young children under five, all of whom must meet specific income and nutritional guidelines. We encourage anyone in need of assistance to visit us in person to apply and begin accessing vital resources to improve your family's nutritional health.
