When you select one of the Newport News WIC stores below, we will provide shopping tips to hopefully help make your shopping experience quicker and easier. The cashier will need to see it as well when you check out. It contains your food list and your WIC checks/vouchers. If you can, try to leave the children at home with a sitter or another responsible adult and take time to become familiar with the process.Īlways remember to bring your Virginia WIC ID folder. This will allow you additional time without pressure from others to review the requirements and make sure your purchases match. Until you become familiar shopping using WIC, you may want to visit one of the Newport News WIC Approved stores listed below in the late evening or early morning when it isn't so crowded. To see what you can buy, view the VA WIC approved food list. That way it will look like you have your cart well organized and you don't end up standing in the aisle with a look of confusion with book in hand. Because of that, we recommend you plan out what you want to buy and make a list before you get to the store. Most grocery stores do not make it easy with the WIC logo next to the items you can purchase. Shopping with your Virginia WIC food guide can feel somewhat unnerving. Also, you can look for the 'WIC Accepted Here' sign at the grocery store or pharmacy entrance to see if they accept VA WIC benefits. Sometimes their status can change from time to time.

If you do find a location you plan to visit, we recommend calling them before going shopping to verify they still sell items approved by the Virginia WIC program.
