Check the size!
When shopping for WIC-approved food items, the container size is important. For example, when the WIC Approved Food List states a half gallon container of lactose-free milk is allowed, you won’t be able to use benefits to purchase a 52 oz container of lactose-free milk.
Unsure of the approved size? The WIC Approved Food List is located at https://health.mo.gov/living/families/wic/approved-food-list.php and on the WICShopper app.

It's National Influenza Vaccination Week! 🩹💪 A perfect time to remember that early immunizations help children build immunity before they are exposed to germs that can make them very sick.

Vaccines are one of our most powerful tools to prevent life-threatening diseases. That's why most childhood vaccines are recommended during your baby's first 12 to 18 months of life.

Have questions about which vaccines your child needs? You're not alone! Check out this helpful resource from AAP to see what's recommended before age 6: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/Your-Babys-First-Vaccines.aspx

Vitamin A is famous for its role in keeping our vision sharp, but it’s also a superstar for overall growth, embryo development, and a strong immune system.
The good news is that Vitamin A-rich foods are often at their peak during the colder months! Think of those bright orange and dark leafy greens: carrots, sweet potatoes, winter squash, spinach, and collard greens.
Your WIC benefits make it easier to bring these healthy, colorful foods to your family's table. Reach out to WIC for more information and nutrition tips for your family: www.signupwic.com/find-a-clinic

Dried beans are the WIC-approved food of the month! Packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, beans are a budget friendly superhero for your family's meals. Just one cup of dried beans becomes about three cups cooked!
💡 Plan Ahead for Easy Meals: Cook a big batch on your day off! Then, use your ready-to-go beans all week long. They're perfect for tacos, stews, salads, and more!
