Cap FM admin. Expense (o)

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Oregon Health Authority–Public Health $114,908 on October 1, 2025, under the WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (CFDA 10.572), a formula grant supporting administrative expenses for the program's operation in Oregon through September 30, 2026.

The WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program provides fresh, nutritious, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs from farmers, farmers' markets, and roadside stands to income-eligible WIC participants—pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five found to be at nutritional risk. Eligible participants receive FMNP coupons in addition to regular WIC benefits, redeemable at state-approved farmers' markets and roadside stands. The program also expands awareness and sales at farmers' markets.

The Oregon Health Authority–Public Health, operating as the Oregon State Health Division, serves as the state agency administering federal nutrition, public health, and vital statistics programs across multiple federal agencies. The award funds administrative costs required to operate the program statewide. Funding is provided via federal–state agreement and must be budgeted in the state plan of operations. Award payments are made by letter of credit. The program authorization period runs annually from October 1 through September 30.
