This is a Formula Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) (CFDA 10.557) to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The $10,672,868 grant provides funding to administer the WIC program at the state and local level in Kansas.

The grant funds state and local staff salaries, benefits, supplies, travel, training, and indirect costs to determine WIC eligibility, provide nutrition education, and issue WIC benefits. Sub-awards are provided to county health departments, community health centers, and other local agencies across Kansas to deliver these critical WIC services in their communities.
