Meijer First Michigan Retailer to Accept WIC for Online Grocery Orders
Meijer has become the first retailer in Michigan to accept WIC benefits for online grocery orders. This initiative aims to improve access to staple foods for WIC program beneficiaries.
Meijer, a Michigan-based retailer, announced it has begun accepting benefits from the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program for online grocery orders. The company stated it is the first retailer in the state to offer this capability digitally.
The expansion allows Michigan residents enrolled in WIC to use their benefits to purchase and have staple foods delivered. Meijer confirmed the functionality became available on July 29, 2026.
The move is intended to enhance access to essential food items across the state, particularly in areas that may have limited grocery store options. Online ordering also provides a necessary service for individuals who face challenges in physically visiting a store.
Customers wishing to use their WIC benefits online must include WIC-eligible items in their digital cart and provide their payment information. Specific instructions are available on the company's website.
