WIC Supplemental Nutrition
In response to questions about Women, Infants & Children (WIC) benefits during the COVID-19 outbreak, we want to reassure that WIC is committed to supporting participants and will continue to issue benefits to WIC cards. Participants' benefits will not be cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. If you need benefits for next month, please contact your local WIC office.
Sexual and Domestic Violence or Human Trafficking
Staying home can reduce the spread of COVID-19. But it can make it more difficult for victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence or human trafficking to get help. For any victims and survivors who need support, contact the Minnesota DayOne Hotline by calling 1-866-223-1111 or texting 612-399-9995. You can also contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by texting LOVEIS to 22522.
