What is WIC?

The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program of Ventura County is a federally funded health and nutrition program that supports pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and children under the age of five.

For over 50 years, WIC has been part of the nation’s nutrition safety net, serving more than 8 million families across the United States.

WIC provides temporary assistance to families with low to moderate incomes, helping them access healthy food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare and other community services.

Research shows that WIC is a cost-effective program that leads to healthier pregnancies, improved childhood development, and stronger academic outcomes. At Clinicas, we are proud to offer WIC care in an environment built on dignity, respect, and community connection.

Who is Eligible for WIC Services?

Many families who receive Medi-Cal, SNAP, or TANF benefits are automatically eligible for WIC based on income.

You may qualify for the WIC program if you:

●     Are pregnant, recently had a baby, or are breastfeeding.

●     Have a child under the age of five.

●     Meet income guidelines.

●     Live in California.

Eligibility is not affected by immigration status, and you can participate in WIC even if you have other forms of insurance or assistance. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can help with a quick and easy eligibility screening.
