× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

Revisiting Shannon: Where is She Now?

Editor's Note: Shannon's story of addiction and struggles began long before she enrolled in her local home visiting program. When we first met her in 2016 and shared Shannon's HomeStory, she had completed the home visiting program and credited her home visitor, Jan, for encouraging her to go to college to realize her potential. One year later, we went back to see how Shannon was doing, and are pleased to present her ongoing progress and many new achievements in life!
