Grocery shopping is getting easier for the thousands of Wake County residents who participate in the Women, Infants and Children program, commonly known as WIC. They can now take advantage of North Carolina eWIC, a new safe and convenient way to deliver their food benefits.
With the North Carolina eWIC card, participants will now be able to buy as little or as much food as they need during each shopping trip. A mobile app will show participants their available benefits balance and help them identify WIC-approved foods while they shop.

Families are encouraged to allow more time for these visits. The North Carolina eWIC cards cannot be issued to proxies.
WIC is a nutrition program that helps working families with supplemental foods, breastfeeding support, nutrition education, and referrals to health care and other services. In addition to pregnant women and new moms, children up to 5 years old may be eligible for WIC benefits. Grandparents, foster parents and dads can also access WIC benefits for their families.
