Does Target take WIC?
Yes, Target accepts WIC, along with other benefits programs like SNAP and TANF. But not every Target location accepts WIC because of the specific rules around the program.
You can check your state WIC program website or call specific Target locations to find out if WIC is accepted at your local store.

How do you add your WIC card to the Target app?#how-do-you-add-your-wic-card-to-the-target-app
To use your eWIC card in the Target app or on the Target website, you add it as payment method just like you would a regular EBT card:
- First, sign in or create an account on the Target website or app
- Go to your account settings (look for the gear icon if you're using the Target app)
- Tap on “Payments” or “Payment Cards,” then select “Add Payment Card”
- Choose “EBT Card” and enter your eWIC card number
- Don’t forget to add a backup payment method to cover anything that’s not WIC-eligible
Once your eWIC card has been added to the Target app, you can use it at checkout. Just decide how much of your WIC balance you want to use and your backup payment method will cover anything left over.

Can I buy diapers with WIC at Target?#can-i-buy-diapers-with-wic-at-target
No, WIC cannot be used to buy diapers at any store, including Target.
WIC has very specific limitations, including the types and brands of foods you can buy, and diapers are not covered under WIC no matter where you’re shopping.

Which grocery stores accept WIC?#which-grocery-stores-accept-wic
Not all grocery stores accept WIC. The USDA only requires states to approve enough stores to ensure participants can access WIC-approved foods, so some stores may not participate in the program, or chains may take WIC at some locations and not others.
The WIC program also requires that participating stores meet minimum stocking requirements, and some smaller Targets may simply not have enough space to meet them.
That’s part of why Target in one town may accept WIC while the Target in a neighboring town does not.
To find out which stores in your area accept WIC, start by visiting your state’s WIC website for a list of approved vendors. If you don’t find what you need online, you can always call a store directly to confirm it accepts WIC.
