Families participating in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) can now shop with their benefits online at Meijer stores across Michigan.
According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, WIC participants can shop online at all 122 Meijer stores in Michigan and can choose between curbside delivery or home delivery. Meijer also offers free home delivery.
WIC participants can use their WIC card for eligible foods and a different payment method for non-WIC foods in the same transaction.
Michigan’s WIC programs serve more than 187,000 women, infants, and children every month by providing healthy foods, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to other helpful programs and resources.
“We are excited to offer this new service to our clients,” said Michigan WIC Director Christina Herring. “We are continuously looking for ways to improve the WIC shopping experience. Online shopping will allow our WIC families to more easily and quickly access healthy foods while juggling the demands of their everyday life.”
“As a family-owned company, Meijer understands how important it is to make shopping for healthy, everyday foods easy for all families,” said Don Sanderson, chief merchandising & marketing officer at Meijer. “We are proud to be the first retailer to offer this in Michigan, building on our legacy of improving accessibility to customers in Michigan.”
