Recently there has been some misinformation about the WIC Program shared via other media outlets and social media. The important thing for WIC participants to know is that WIC clinics are open for their regularly scheduled hours and WIC transactions at grocery stores will be processed normally. WIC provides nutrition education, healthy supplemental foods, breastfeeding support and connections to other helpful resources during critical periods of growth and development for women, infants and children. Families should continue their participation in the WIC Program for their health and wellbeing, as WIC has been shown to improve children's diet and to decrease premature and low birthweight deliveries. Although the shutdown continues, and several programs have been affected, fortunately, the WIC Program has been able to continue to provide services as normal.
