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, and young children who are at risk for nutrition-related issues. Our mission centers on empowering families through comprehensive nutrition education, offering personalized counseling, engaging classes for parents and children, and tailored breastfeeding support, including free breast pumps for nursing mothers. We provide monthly benefits that can be used to purchase a variety of nutritious foods essential for growth, such as iron-fortified infant formula, cereals, milk, eggs, and fruits and vegetables. WIC also connects clients with additional health and social services, ensuring families receive holistic support. To qualify, applicants must meet specific income guidelines and nutritional risk criteria, and we welcome all eligible families, including fathers and guardians, to apply in person at our local clinics, where they will receive the assistance they need to thrive.
