The Washington State Department of Health has received a second award of food funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, allowing the agency to maintain food benefits and our current 10-person state Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program team through the end of October.
According to a news release, amid ongoing uncertainty following the federal government shutdown, the Department of Health remains committed to supporting the people of Washington who rely on WIC to meet their nutritional needs and it’s employees.
Officials will continue to track developments closely and provide updates as they become available on the Department of Health’s Federal Government Shutdown website.
