WIC-Shopping-Tips-icon
  • Make sure you have your EBT card with you.
  • Be courteous to the staff helping you.
  • Use your WIC-allowable food list.
  • Use benefits on or after the first date to use and by the expiration date.
  • Some stores may need you to keep your personal groceries separate from your WIC groceries when checking out.
  • Shop between the hours of 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. in case you need to call the WIC office for assistance.
  • You may choose to purchase all the items in the food package at once or the remaining food items as needed throughout the benefit period.
  • Look for items on sale while purchasing fruits and vegetables to make the most of your cash value benefit.
  • If you have a coupon for a product, you may use it on a WIC item.
  • If a WIC item is on sale, you are entitled to the sale price.
  • You are entitled to fair and respectful treatment from the grocer.

Please call the WIC office if you need any assistance.

  3. Sosténgase el pecho como si apretara un sándwich. Para protegerse la espalda, evite inclinarse hacia el bebé. Acerque al bebé hacia usted.
