WIC is now using EBT cards to issue benefits, to find out more check out the video below or call your local WIC clinic. Each WIC family will get one eWIC card. At checkout, the WIC shopper will swipe the card, just like a debit or credit card, and enter a personal identification number (PIN). WIC will pay for the allowable foods and deduct them from the family's WIC account.
WIC is the special supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.
The WIC program helps families with young children by providing healthy food, teaching about good eating habits, and supporting breastfeeding. We also check the health of kids and connect families with other services they might need. Anyone can apply for WIC, whether you're married, a single parent, working or not. If you're caring for a child under 5, like a mom, dad, grandparent, foster parent, or legal guardian, you can sign up for WIC.
