Federal Shutdown WIC Updates
As of October 9, Washington State WIC will provide food benefits through the end of October.
Due to the federal government shutdown, some WIC offices may temporarily close. For now, please continue to use your benefits as usual.
If you have an appointment or need help, call your WIC office or check their website to see if they are open. You can use the WIC Clinic Locator to find local agencies, phone numbers, and other details.
We are actively monitoring the federal shutdown and the impact on WIC benefits. Your health and well-being are our top priority. Look for updates on the WICShopper app and on this page.
