WIC IS OPEN!

As we plan for the impact of a federal government shutdown, the state of Iowa has taken extraordinary measures to continue funding the WIC program in the immediate timeframe. Funding for the WIC program is provided annually through the Congressional Appropriations process. Until the appropriations process is complete, federal funds are not available to maintain operations. No further action is required of you now and program operations will continue at this time. However, we will regularly assess our ability to continue funding WIC during the shutdown and will provide updates as decisions are made in real time.
