Women, Infants, & Children (WIC)

Monthly Benefit Increase

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program has increased the monthly benefit to buy more fruit and vegetables by about 37%. Participants now receive $25 per month for each child under age five, and $44 per month for pregnant, postpartum, or partially breastfeeding moms, and $49 for those who are fully breastfeeding for fruits and vegetables. To find out if you are eligible for this and many other WIC benefits, please call RiverStone Health WIC at 406.247.3340.
