Families in Minnesota, Nebraska, and Iowa participating in the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program can now use their cards to shop online at most Hy-Vee stores in Minnesota as part of a pilot program.
Shopping with young children can be challenging, and without an online option, not as many healthy foods are accessible.
“This of course became really a problem and really clear during the pandemic that the families that receive WIC benefits were not able to redeem those online, like many of us consumers did at that time,” says MN WIC Director Kate Franken.
Franken says delivery is available for an additional fee, which cannot be paid for using WIC benefits.
