California WIC Card

WIC food benefits are provided monthly on a reusable California WIC Card. All your family’s WIC food benefits are together on one WIC Card. The WIC Card is like a debit card and makes shopping easy. Keep your WIC Card safe. Never throw it away. However, you will not lose your WIC food benefits if your WIC Card is lost, stolen or damaged.
