The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) was awarded a $10 million Formula Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service to administer the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) from May 15, 2023 through September 30, 2025. As the designated state agency for Ohio, ODH will utilize the funding to provide 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, as outlined in the official program description. ODH will likely pass through a portion of the grant funds to local health departments, community organizations, clinics, and hospitals serving as sub-recipients to deliver the direct services at the local level.
