Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded WCD WIC Program a formula grant totaling $115,597.00 under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC, CFDA 10.557) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This funding specifically supports WIC administrative expenses for program operations in Anadarko, Oklahoma. WCD WIC Program, a federally recognized tribal government entity, serves as the local WIC program administrator and uses these funds to maintain the infrastructure and administrative capacity necessary to deliver comprehensive WIC services to eligible participants in its service area.

The WIC program provides supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education with emphasis on breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to health and social services for income-eligible pregnant women, breastfeeding and postpartum mothers, and children up to age five who meet nutritional risk criteria. Through this administrative funding, WCD WIC Program sustains clinic operations, staff support, certification procedures, nutrition education delivery, and program oversight functions that enable direct service delivery to vulnerable populations in the Anadarko community. This award represents one component of the organization's recent WIC funding portfolio, which also includes substantial allocations for WIC food expenses and breastfeeding peer counselor services.
