The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) received a $315,000 Formula Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service to support the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Ohio. Commonly known as the WIC program (CFDA #10.557), this initiative provides supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health and social services to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five who are determined to be at nutritional risk. ODH will use the FY2023 funding to support these core WIC services statewide through September 2024, helping to improve the health and nutrition of thousands of at-risk Ohio families.
