FYI!!!

Getting ready for your next WIC visit? 🗓️As we roll out new WIC food packages, your benefits might look a little different. We are adding fish to child and adult packages, increasing whole grains for pregnant and postpartum participants, and offering more options for those with allergies. You will notice some decreases in amounts for juice for all packages and in whole grains for kids.
What you need to know:
1️⃣ Changes take effect after your first appointment between late January and April 2026.
2️⃣ Infant food packages (under age 1) will stay the same.
3️⃣ Our staff is here to help you navigate these changes!
