Meijer has become the first retailer in the state to accept WIC benefits for online grocery orders.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced that families participating in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children or WIC are now able to shop with their WIC benefits online at Meijer stores.
Amy Epkey, MDHHS acting director, says, “WIC beneficiaries were already able to use their WIC cards for in-store shopping at Meijer and offering online shopping will make it even easier for families to buy healthy foods. “
Online shopping will be available at all 122 Meijer stores in Michigan where WIC clients can choose between curbside pickup or home delivery.
The Michigan WIC Program serves more than 187,000 women, infants and children each month by providing healthy foods, nutrition education, counseling and more.
Michigan WIC plans to expand online shopping to other retailers in the future.
