WIC serves families through crisis

Women, Infants and Children’s (WIC) continues to provide critical services to San Marcos families amid COVID-19 closures. 

The WIC program has instituted new procedures to safely provide food services in a critical time when many families are losing income. New procedures include safe office distancing and an expansion of the eligible foods available for participants.

Central Texas WIC (counties of Hays, Comal, Guadalupe and Caldwell) clinics are now set up to accept Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards through a storefront drop-off without face-to-face interaction. A WIC provider will load the benefits and distribute the card through the system identified as most accessible for each location.
