SPOKANE, Wash. — Offices for the WIC Nutrition Program in Spokane will close Thursday until further notice, according to Spokane Regional Health District.
On Tuesday evening, SRHD announced its offices for the WIC (Women, Infants & Children) Nutrition Program will close on October 30, due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
SRHD said people with WIC benefits should continue to use their benefits until further notice and that SRHD is working with the Washington State Department of Health to ensure benefits for all WIC participants auto-renew in November.
According to SRHD, some WIC offices in Spokane are expected to remain open. Those interested to see if they are eligible for WIC benefits can find open WIC offices in the area via the online WIC Clinic Locator at doh.wa.gov.
