Comment period for WIC program plan for FFY 2009:
April 16, 2008 - May 16, 2008
WIC, the Nutrition program for Women, Infants and Children, wants to hear from people who have opinions and suggestions about its services.
Each year the program develops a plan for providing services in Washington. As we work on refining the program plan for next year, we invite comments on it and on WIC services in general. We encourage you to review and comment on our current program
goals and objectives, and
nutrition services plan.
Each year Washington WIC provides $111 million worth of nutritious foods to more than 277,000 women and children, including 10,000 women who are either in the military or military dependents. Washington WIC nutrition services benefit close to half of all infants born in the state.
To make it easier for families to make healthy choices, WIC provides a broad range of services: from healthy foods and nutrition education, to help getting health services like immunizations and family planning. Promoting and supporting breastfeeding is another important WIC priority.
Some of the best ideas for improving WIC services come from families participating in WIC, grocery store workers and local agency staff working directly with families around the state.
