The Reno County Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is continuing normal operations, according to WIC Coordinator Heather Peterson, who oversees services for both Reno and McPherson counties.
Peterson said families should keep their scheduled WIC appointments, continue using their benefits, and rely on the WIC Shopper App for the most current and accurate information regarding WIC services in Kansas.
“There was some panic when SNAP sent out their letter and indicated WIC was included,” Peterson said. “But WIC services are continuing as usual.”
WIC provides nutrition education, healthy foods, and breastfeeding support to eligible women, infants, and young children. Peterson encouraged participants who have questions to contact the WIC office directly for assistance.
For more information, families can reach out to the Reno County WIC office or check updates through the WIC Shopper App.
