Something to consider: please avoid grocery shopping on April 1-3 unless you have a critical need. Many WIC/SNAP benefits come to low-income families at the first of the month and there will be a surge as these families redeem them. (1/3)

Many of these families’ resources were depleted more quickly because children are staying home from school and some families are going hungry right now. Also, please respect their needs by not buying items with a WIC shelf tag unless you absolutely need them. (2/3)

They cannot simply substitute these items with others; they would go without.

This will also help to keep some of our city's most vulnerable safer by not adding to the crowds in the stores unnecessarily. (3/3)
