WIC vs. SNAP - What's the difference? https://shorturl.at/SqiWG

Southwest District Health only issues WIC benefits. We continue to provide WIC benefits through the government shutdown, and will inform WIC clients if anything changes.

WIC and SNAP work together to ensure:
➡Infants and toddlers get the nutrition the need to grow.
➡Parents can put food on the table during tough times.
➡Communities stay healthier and stronger.
