Keep using WIC benefits!
MN WIC has received additional funds to continue services into mid-November if the federal government shutdown continues.
WIC families - please keep your WIC appointments, shop with your WIC card, and use your benefits.

Questions? Call your local WIC clinic. We will post updates when we have more to share.

Announcing changes to the WIC app! Existing WIC participants will need to take action to keep using the app.
1. The new version has a new look. If your benefits tab already looks like this image, you're all set and can ignore these instructions!
2. Uninstall the old version of the app
3. Look up My Minnesota WIC in the app store or find the link here: https://www.health.state.mn.us/people/wic/shopforwic/app.html
Note that the icon for the app is identical to the previous version.
4. Register the app. You'll need the card number printed on the front of your WIC card, and the birth date and zip code of the adult who received the card from WIC. You can choose your own household name. Find step by step instructions and a preview of the new app at the link below! If you've moved and your zip code is no longer correct, please call your local WIC agency at Sawtooth Mountain Clinic (218) 387-2330https://www.health.state.mn.us/docs/people/wic/ewic/mnappflyer.pdf

Last day of the farmers' market today! Head over from 4:30 to 6pm, and don't forget to use up any of the wooden tokens you might have floating around : ) Thanks to all the growers and makers and organizers for a great season, and to all the WIC community who have participated.

In addition to their usual benefits, users of the WIC program in Cook County receive a Together We Grow card  which they may present at the Market Welcome booth each week to receive  tokens  for purchases at the market.  Each token is worth $1 and may be spent on any food item at the market:
