National WIC Association & Nutrition First Policy Priorities for 2026

Posted on
February 16, 2026

This year, Congress will make pivotal decisions that will impact how eligible families access WIC services and benefits. We call on lawmakers to:

1. Continue to fully fund WIC so all eligible people can participate.

2. Modernize the program by updating rules so that WIC can continue remote services, and allow other retailers to offer online shopping.

3. Safeguard the infrastructure that supports WIC nationwide.

These essential protections are not guaranteed; they require immediate Congressional action. Your voice is needed now to ensure Congress acts in time.
