The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $1,980,628 Project Grant to the Virginia State Board of Health Office of Emergency Preparedness under the WIC Grants To States (CFDA 10.578) program. The grant funding will be used to enhance the delivery of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Virginia. Key objectives include modernizing the WIC management information system, implementing electronic benefit transfer technology, increasing program outreach, and upgrading clinic infrastructure to better serve WIC participants. The Virginia State Board of Health's Emergency Preparedness & Response Programs division, which oversees the grant, frequently sub-awards portions of federal grants to local health departments, schools, and community organizations across the state for direct service delivery.
