Michigan WIC Recipients Can Now Shop Online at Meijer

Michigan residents enrolled in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program now have a more convenient way to shop for groceries. All 122 Meijer locations across Michigan now accept WIC benefits for online grocery purchases, including the Battle Creek store.

This new shopping option allows WIC participants to place grocery orders online and choose either curbside pickup or free home delivery. Customers can purchase approved WIC foods with their WIC card and pay for non-WIC items using another payment method during the same transaction.

What This Means for Battle Creek Families

For local families, this means no more navigating crowded grocery aisles with young children or trying to find specific WIC-approved items in-store. The online system makes it easier to see exactly which products are covered and plan meals accordingly.

"WIC beneficiaries were already able to use their WIC cards for in-store shopping at Meijer and offering online shopping will make it even easier for families to buy healthy foods," said Amy Epkey, acting director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

How It Works

Shopping with WIC benefits online at Meijer is simple:

• Visit meijer.com or use the Meijer app
• Select your preferred store location
• Shop for WIC-approved items (they will be marked in the system)
• Choose curbside pickup or delivery
• Pay with your WIC card for eligible items
• Use another payment method for non-WIC items in the same order

Best of all, home delivery is free for WIC orders, saving families both time and money.
