How can I help the WIC Program work for me?

Keep your WIC appointments. If you can’t keep an appointment, please call your local WIC office right away. The WIC staff works hard to see you at your appointment time, so please try your best to be on time.

Always take your EWIC Card Folder to your WIC appointment with your ID. Take your WIC Approved Food List with you to the store to help you shop.

Buy the correct foods and in the correct amounts with your eWIC card.

WIC foods are to be used for the family member on WIC, not the whole family. Foods cannot be returned to the store for money, given away, or sold to someone else.

Be sure to bring the information that the WIC staff needs when they ask for it (proof of ID, proof of residency and proof of income).

Tell the WIC staff about any changes in your name, address or phone number.

If you are going to move, please notify your WIC staff.
