RST WIC Program

All WIC participants are invited to come get your picture taken in November.

Good afternoon everyone! Here are a few reminders from the RST WIC Program as we finish out October.

There’s still time to enroll during October! All new participants enrolling this month will be eligible for a $100 drawing on October 30, 2026. If you or someone you know would like more information, give us a call!

Please remember to use your WIC benefits each month. Two months of unredeemed benefits results in termination of services. Our office is closed the last two days of the month for staff training, remote card loading and record updates, so please plan ahead.

Don’t forget, pumpkin and squash are allowed WIC fruit and vegetable purchases! The $1 increase for breastfeeding and children’s fruit and vegetable food packages also took effect October 1.

Call us at 605-747-2617 with any questions. Visit our website and follow the RST WIC Program on Facebook to stay up to date on all announcements, office closures and program updates.

Please help us spread the word by sharing!

WIC is an equal opportunity provider.

JOIN DURING OCTOBER!

The Rosebud WIC Program will close at 12:00 p.m. today, Friday, September 25, as we mourn the passing of Shaun Mills, Director of RST Solid Waste.

Shaun was a valued part of our Tribal community. His work touched many programs and families, and he will be deeply missed. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and coworkers. Please keep them in your thoughts during this difficult time.

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe is granting administrative leave today from 10:30 AM to 5 PM. This is due to a region wide electrical outage.
