What is WIC?

We all want to feed our families healthy food. But let’s be honest—sometimes it feels impossible. Groceries are expensive, life is busy, and figuring out what’s “healthy” can be confusing. At Clinica Sierra Vista’s WIC program, we understand that struggle. That’s why WIC exists—to make healthy living easier for families like yours.

Healthy Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children. It’s a nutrition program that helps pregnant people, new parents, and families with children under age 5 stay healthy and strong.

With WIC, you get:

Healthy foods every month—like fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, bread, cereal, peanut butter, and more—loaded onto your California WIC Card.
Nutrition advice and everyday tips from caring experts who understand your family’s needs.
Breastfeeding help and supplies from certified professionals.
A welcoming space to ask questions about pregnancy, feeding, and child nutrition—without judgment.

WIC is more than a shopping card—it’s a full support system for growing families.

Why It Matters

Healthy food builds a strong foundation for your family’s future. But we know it’s not always easy to make that happen on your own.

WIC helps take away the stress by giving you:

Guidance you can use, not confusing advice.
Support that fits your life, whether you’re working, pregnant, or caring for young kids.
Confidence to make choices that help your family thrive.

When healthy feels doable—not overwhelming—everything changes.

You May Already Qualify

The best part? You might already be eligible for WIC and not even know it.

You may qualify if you:

Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or just had a baby
Have a child under age 5
Live in California
Have a low-to-medium income or receive Medi-Cal, CalFresh, or CalWORKs

WIC is open to working families, single parents, foster families, and grandparents caring for young children. Everyone is welcome.

Do I Qualify for WIC?

WIC is a program that helps families with food and nutrition. Call us at (661) 862-5422 or send a message, and we’ll help you see if you qualify.

Here are some ways you might qualify:

You are pregnant
You are breastfeeding a baby who is less than one year old
You had a baby in the last six months
You have a child who is under the age of five

You also need to think about your family’s income. Here are the monthly income limits for family sizes:

1 Person: $2,413
2 Persons: $3,261
3 Persons: $4,109
4 Persons: $4,957

This income limit is based on 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, and these amounts will be effective from April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

Also, if you’re pregnant, the baby counts as part of your family size when figuring out if you qualify.
