After many months of hard work, we’re thrilled to soon be opening a local WIC office in South Euclid at 14055 Cedar Avenue, Suite 200, South Euclid.
(across from Target).
The new office will be a full service WIC clinic, staffed by WIC employees and will handle any WIC related issue.
“Instead of schlepping to the downtown office every six months with all your kids and every three months to refill your card, you’ll now be able to pop right in to an office within the community.” said Rabbi Aryeh Leib Joseph, Resource Coordinator at Gesher. “We’ve eliminated the need to go to the downtown office completely. With an office that’s right in our backyard, we hope more people than ever will access WIC benefits.”
In response to several questions from community members:
Ohio’s Women Infants and Children (WIC) program recently issued new guidelines stating that WIC recipients can only purchase store- brand milk. WIC recipients who require Chalav Yisroel Kosher milk (which is not store-brand) will still be able to purchase this milk as they have in the past.
Ohio WIC will be reminding designated stores of the kosher exception to the “store-brand policy”.
Agudath Israel has worked closely with the Ohio WIC office for many years and they have repeatedly showed sensitivity to our communities’ religious dietary needs. We thank them for their prompt attention to this matter.
