The Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada (ITCN) received a $630,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The funding supports ITCN's administration of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Reno, Nevada.
As the official CFDA #10.557 program title indicates, WIC 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 have been determined to be at nutritional risk. ITCN will use the $630k in federal Formula Grant funds to cover administrative expenses associated with operating the WIC program and delivering these services to eligible individuals in Reno, Nevada through September 2022.
