WIC-ELIGIBLE FOOD PURCHASING NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
The Department of Health on Monday announced that New Mexico families who receive Women, Infant and Children (WIC) benefits may now shop online.
“Allowing WIC households to purchase WIC-eligible foods online will improve food access and relieve some of the stress New Mexicans face related to COVID-19,” said WIC Director Sarah Flores-Sievers.

- S&Sin Clovis
- Bullocksin Truth or Consequences
- La Finca Meat Market #2in Las Cruces
Another ten stores will be added within the next two to four weeks with more stores following across the state.
