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 expecting and new mothers, infants, and young children at risk for nutrition-related issues. By providing personalized nutrition education, WIC empowers families with vital knowledge about healthy eating practices, tailored to the needs of pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and their children up to age five. Our offerings include one-on-one nutrition counseling, engaging classes, and breastfeeding support, where clients can access resources such as free breast pumps and tips on managing breastfeeding while working. Additionally, WIC supplies nutritious foods monthly, including iron-fortified infant formulas, cereals, fruits, vegetables, milk, and more, ensuring families have access to the essential nutrients they need. We also facilitate referrals to health and social services to further support our clients. Eligibility for WIC includes families earning at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level, and we welcome parents, guardians, and foster parents to apply for their children’s benefits. Our commitment is to make a positive impact on the community by supporting those who need it most, and we encourage interested individuals to apply in person at our local clinic in San Benito.
