Des Moines, Iowa — Families in Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska who are on the Women, Infants, and Children program can now use their cards to shop online at most Hy-Vee stores in the state as part of a pilot program.
Kate Franken, a Midwest WIC director, says shopping with young children can be challenging, and without an online option, fewer healthy foods are accessible.
Franken says the pilot program was launched in February at one Hy-Vee store in each state and it’s seen great success.
Franken says grocery delivery is available from Hy-Vee for an additional fee, which cannot be paid for using WIC benefits.
