As NWA closes its 40th anniversary year, we’re celebrating the WIC community that has powered four decades of advocacy, education, and support. This year underscored WIC’s vital role, especially during moments of uncertainty, and highlighted the dedication of staff, families, partners, and advocates who keep the program strong. As we look ahead, NWA invites the community to continue shaping WIC’s future: make a year-end gift to strengthen advocacy, share gratitude on the WIC Appreciation Wall, and shop the NWA Store to support our mission. WIC’s strength has always come from its community. With your continued generosity, we can build an even stronger foundation for the next 40 years.
Join us for the 2026 National Policy Conference, Strength in Community, Power in Policy on Tuesday, February 24, through Thursday, February 26, 2026.
This year’s virtual conference comes on the heels of a historic year for WIC - the program weathered the longest federal government shutdown in history without large-scale disruptions to benefits or clinic services, and now has full funding for FY 2026.
Now, our policy focus turns to FY 2027 funding and critical modernization needs - including securing permanent virtual services in WIC by passing the MODERN WIC Act and publishing the final rule on online shopping.
The conference will start on Tuesday, February 24, and will end with the Annual Capitol Hill Education Day on Thursday, February 26. Note: The conference is closed to press.
