📣 Emergency funds have kept open for now. However, these funds are only enough for most WIC agencies to continue operating through the end of October. If the shutdown continues into November and there aren't any additional funds provided, many agencies will run out of money.

Reminder that WIC is still open and remaining October benefits are available to use before the end of the month.
