As the official state administering agency for WIC in Arizona, AZDHS will use this funding to provide supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health and social services for 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. This funding supports AZDHS's administration of the WIC program objectives to improve the nutritional and health status of this target population through this two-year award period.
