## Resource

Louisiana’s WIC program is rolling out a game-changing upgrade this Saturday: a brand-new online benefits system that lets families reload their nutrition assistance remotely—no more clinic visits. After a damning audit revealed the state had the nation’s lowest WIC participation rate, plagued by poor outreach and limited clinic hours, officials are betting this digital shift will finally bridge the gap. With electronic benefit cards and a simple PIN setup via phone or app, the goal is clear: make vital nutrition support easier, faster, and more accessible for working parents and kids alike.
