The full power of WIC

Shop fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables.

We find few things more joyous than exploring the neighborhood in search of produce that is local, in-season and supports farmers. And we believe in the importance of teaching kids that from a young age, too!
Every late spring through fall season, eligible American Red Cross WIC families can receive one special check booklet to purchase fruits, vegetables and herbs from local farmers markets. The farmers market checks may be used in addition to your monthly fruit and vegetable benefits.

Protect your family the best way we know how.

We understand you may feel a little uneasy about going into the doctor’s office during the pandemic. Hospitals, clinics and other healthcare settings across the state have taken extra care to ensure patients are safe when visiting. And, we have come a long way since March 2020.
Please continue routine check-ups like well-child visits and immunizations. These will help track development including milestones, discuss current or future concerns and prevent illnesses through scheduled vaccinations.
COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are now available for anyone living in California aged 6 months or older, for free.
Pregnant, recently pregnant and breastfeeding people are more likely to become severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people. WIC recommends this group get vaccinated. And, if you are vaccinated and plan to breastfeed, your baby can get antibodies in breastmilk that protect your baby.
