WIC food expenses

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services $1,230,652 on October 1, 2025, under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557) to fund WIC food expenses. The award covers the period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with work performed in Nevada. Nevada DHHS, operating as the Division of Health, is a state agency that administers the WIC program statewide. This formula grant is one of multiple WIC awards the agency receives annually from USDA Food and Nutrition Service, which also funds WIC administrative operations and breastfeeding peer counselor services under the same program authority. WIC provides supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and health and social service referrals to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five who are at nutritional risk.
