Washington and Massachusetts WIC Programs Online Shopping Project
Project Summary:
Washington WIC is partnering with Massachusetts WIC, FIS/CDP, and Walmart to bring online shopping to WIC participants in the two States. An online shopping system for WIC participants shopping at Walmart is expected to go-live in summer 2024, using Walmart’s Online Shopping Platform. The option will be available in both States. Ultimately, this step will help nearly 40,000 WIC families in Washington and nearly 20,000 WIC families in Massachusetts who shop at Walmart access their WIC benefits safely and efficiently.
