MINNEAPOLIS, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Minnesota families participating in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program can now use their EBT cards to shop online at most Hy-Vee stores in the state as part of a new pilot program. State WIC Director Kate Franken highlights that shopping with young children can be challenging, and without an online option, accessing healthy foods can be difficult.
The pilot program had a successful launch at the Brooklyn Park Hy-Vee store in February and expanded to most locations on May 27th. Franken also noted that delivery is available for an additional fee, which cannot be paid for using WIC benefits.
