WIC Nutrition and Grocery Stores

WIC Grocery is Chicagoland’s one-stop-shop for healthy and nutritious WIC-approved foods. Each of WIC Grocery’s 16 locations offers a wide variety of name-brand, nutritious, and 100% WIC-approved foods.

In 1993, WIC Grocery Centers were conceived by Catholic Charities as a solution to several systematic problems in Chicago, including lack of adequate neighborhood grocery stores, and problems surrounding waste, fraud, and abuse in the system. WIC Grocery Centers play an important role in the revitalization of communities and neighborhoods within Chicago.

WIC Grocery Centers serve as unique hubs for participants in underserved communities, providing access to social services, employment and job training, nutrition education, and other programs and resources to support families under the umbrella of the Catholic Charities.
