2009 Organizational Sign-on Letter in Support of WIC

Created on: Friday, April 10, 2009 - 9:46am

The House and Senate budget proposals contain a reduction in state funds for the WIC Program of $1.01 million. This level of reduction will jeopardize WIC client services AND result in a significant reduction in the WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program.

More than 40 organizations have signed on to a letter to legislators urging protection of the WIC funding. Read the letter and see the list of organizational supporters.
