South Dakota and Rosebud Sioux Tribe WIC Programs Online Shopping Project
Project Summary:
The South Dakota and Rosebud Sioux Tribe WIC Programs, along with their partners at Custom Data Processing (CDP), Retail Solutions of America (RSA), Mountain Plains Evaluation, and Maximus will implement WIC online shopping in a regional grocery store chain, Buche Foods. This project focuses on providing online shopping to WIC participants living in rural and remote areas. The online shopping services will initially launch to allow for pick up at the Buche Foods stores in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, which is located on the Oglala Lakota Indian Reservation and in Mission, South Dakota located on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation. After a successful implementation at the initial pilot sites in spring 2024, this team plans to expand online shopping to allow for pick up at all other Buche Foods stores and additional WIC-authorized vendors throughout South Dakota.
