Income Guidelines Updated for WIC in Wyoming

Updated income guidelines for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program begin July 1, according to the Wyoming Department of Health.
WIC provides help to new moms with breastfeeding, infant foods and formula; and families with whole foods like fruit, vegetables, whole grain cereals, bread, rice, oatmeal, canned tuna or salmon, eggs, cheese, milk, soy beverages, dried beans/peas, brown rice; and kitchen staples such as tortillas and peanut butter.
“Many people know about the food available through our program. WIC also has peer counselors for peer-to-peer breastfeeding help, nutritionists to help with planning family meals, and makes referrals for other health and social services,” said Janet Moran, WIC program manager with the Wyoming Department of Health.
