Women, Infants & Children (WIC)

WIC OPERATIONS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In following guidance from federal, state and local governments, Community Progress Council’s WIC office will provide all benefits to participants by phone and mail until further notice.

Participants are asked to not visit any of the York County WIC locations during this time.

WIC is, however, welcoming new clients. See if you’re eligible at www.PAWIC.com.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children, also known as WIC, provides supplemental food and nutrition education for pregnant and breastfeeding women, mothers who have given birth within the past six months and children up to 5 years old.

WIC is now offering its families a new way to shop for WIC food benefits using an Electronic Benefits Transfer (eWIC) card. With the eWIC card, shopping will be quick, easy and convenient for WIC families and grocery stores. WIC participants will save time at the checkout and can buy WIC foods in as many shopping trips as they need throughout the month.

In addition to the eWIC card, participants will have access to a new WICShopper Smart Phone App allowing them to scan a food’s bar code to determine if it is a WIC-allowed food.
