Despite the government shutdown, Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will be able to keep their doors open through February.
The US Department of Agriculture, which helps to fund WIC, SNAP, and other child nutrition programs, has found additional funds to help keep these programs up and running through February should the shutdown continue. According to Allen County WIC Director Melinda Hobler, they will be open during their normal hours and providing all of their services. People with appointments with WIC should still show up.
WIC cards will also still work during this time.
