WIC: Nutrition Education
Worried about the federal government shutdown?
DHS is closely monitoring all of the activities occurring at the federal level, including the possibility of a government shutdown. Our goal is to keep the public informed, especially our WIC participants. In the event of a federal government shutdown on Friday, March 14, Wisconsin WIC will be available. You may continue to use your WIC benefits, attend WIC appointments, and do not need to take any action. DHS will share information as it becomes available. Contact your local WIC agency with any questions.
