Pandemic Forces Changes In NCPHD Handling WIC Services

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to some changes in how WIC services are being handled for both local families and migrant seasonal farmworkers coming to Wasco County for cherry harvest.  Normally, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children is administered by North Central Public Health District, which partners with Oregon Child Development Coalition Head Start during their enrollment period to provide WIC transfer services to families in a one stop shop location.  This year, however, transfer services are being handled electronically.  Participants should call the WIC office at 541-506-2610 to begin the process.  When their Oregon e-WIC card is ready with the food benefits loaded on it, participants will be asked to come to North Central Public Health District office at 419 E. 7th St. in The Dalles and pick up the Oregon eWIC card in the parking lot.
