Great volunteering opportunities to boot!

Several areas of the city are in what is known as a food desert, where fresh produce is scarce. For those without cars, healthy food rarely makes it the kitchen table.

New Feature! Perfecting a state agency's Approved Product List can be a daunting project. That's why some agencies are using WICShopper to allow WIC moms to participate in the process. WICShopper now has the ability for users to submit a request that a product be added to the APL. APL crowd sourcing!

Have you heard that our Oregon WIC shoppers can now use the WICShopper app on iPhone or Android smartphones to identify WIC-approved foods? And for those shoppers who've already started using eWIC, they can even use the app to check their balance right in the store. We're so excited to offer this great new tool to simplify shopping for our participants and stores!

Look what's new!! If you live in a state like Texas, NM or WY that uses "smart cards" for WIC, then you probably know that WICShopper cannot load your benefits (they are stored on your card). So we've implemented a simple (but useful) way for your to stop relying on receipts.

After your transaction, use the "Your Benefits" feature in WICShopper to capture an image of your current benefits. Pinch to resize the image for best readability and WICShopper will store the image for the next shopping trip. Your benefits are kept where you scan products to ensure eligibility. No paper to lose, no mess in your purse!
