- Qualifying WIC participants (pregnant, breastfeeding, postpartum women and children ages 1-5), bring a current WIC shopping list to register at scheduled Neighborhood Farmers Markets.
- You will receive $30 worth of vouchers (per eligible client), which can be used to buy locally grown whole fruits, vegetables and herbs.
- No cash change is given for vouchers. Lost, stolen or expired vouchers cannot be replaced.
- If you cannot attend a participating Farmers Market, you may send an authorized representative, called a proxy. The proxy must bring a copy of your WIC Shopping List and a note, signed and dated by you, that says they can be issued vouchers on your behalf. The proxy will purchase eligible foods on your behalf and deliver them to you. One person may be a proxy for no more than two households.
