Nevada WIC Clinics and Food Benefits Remain Available to Program Participants

The Nevada Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program has announced that clinics remain open during the ongoing federal government shutdown and enrolled participants can continue to access food benefits and other WIC program services.

"Ensuring uninterrupted food benefits and program support for pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children is our main priority and Nevadans should continue to redeem their food benefits and attend clinic visits," said Blanca Ayala, Nevada WIC Program Director. "Nutritious food, breastfeeding education and support, and health screenings are vital to keeping women and infants healthy."

As the shutdown continues, Nevada WIC will monitor the situation and evaluate next steps, providing updates to participants, vendors, and subgrantees as needed.

Nevada WIC encourages all current participants to: 

• Continue using their EBT cards as normal and keep scheduled appointments
• Stay connected through the Nevada WIC website or WICShopper App
• Call 1-800-863-8942 or email WICgeneral@health.nv.gov with any questions
