Silent Programs V

We have noticed that there are programs (government and private) that no one seems to know about. If they do, they are keeping it quiet. Well, we are going to try and bring these programs out in the open in hopes that it will inform the people who really need it. We started a series of posts called Silent Programs. Here are the last four posts.

For the fifth issue of silent programs, we found a program that has been around for a long time. WIC is a program specifically designed for meeting the nutritional requirements for women, infants & children.

Here is some information from WICs site:

Women, Infants & Children (WIC) is a supplemental nutrition program for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, women who had a baby within the last six months, infants, and children under the age of five. One must meet income requirements and have a nutritional risk that proper nutrition could help to improve.

Income requirement for Florida and Alabama:

Family Size	Annual	Month	Week
1	$20,036	$1,670	$386
2	$26,955	$2,247	$519
3	$33,874	$2,823	$652
4	$40,793	$3,400	$785
5	$47,712	$3,976	$918
