The Virginia State Board of Health received a $4.5 million formula grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557) for the period of March 11, 2021 through September 30, 2021. The WIC program aims to provide low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five who are determined to be at nutritional risk with supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health and social services. Through this funding, the Virginia State Board of Health will deliver these critical services to eligible populations in the state through its Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response Programs.
