Riverside County WIC has moved all services to over the phone, text, or email. WIC clients can now become certified without leaving the comfort of home.
WIC families are able to choose from dozens of educational health and nutrition classes with online courses that allow participants to tailor the WIC experience to their specific needs and create scheduling flexibility.
Additionally, WIC clinics across the nation have transitioned from the use of paper WIC checks to the use of an electronic card. The card makes shopping at the grocery store easier and more convenient. Clients have the freedom to use their benefits at any point throughout the month at any WIC vendor. All shoppers need is their California WIC card and self-selected PIN.
The new California WIC App is free to download and integrates with the client’s California WIC card. Clients can keep track of appointment times, view authorized WIC vendors in their area, view their food balance, and scan foods in the store to see if the item is included in their benefits package.
