Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program in the amount of $10,000, for a total grant award in the amount of $4,924,565 for the period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008.

The primary objective of the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is to provide nutritionally desirable food and nutrition education to pregnant and lactating women as well as infants and children at nutritional risk in Franklin County who meet categorical, income and nutritional risk requirements for eligibility.
