The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the State of North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services a $123.48 million Formula Grant under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) federal grant program. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Under the WIC program, the State of North Carolina will use the grant funding to provide low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as 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. The goal of the WIC program is to address the nutritional needs of these vulnerable populations through this coordinated set of services delivered across the state.
