TCHSA Public Health has been operating this Tehama County program since 2003. This program provides funding to administer the WIC program, a federally funded health and nutrition program. WIC helps families by providing funds for buying healthy supplemental foods from WIC authorized vendors, nutrition education and referral to healthcare and other community services. Participants must meet income guidelines and be pregnant women, new mothers, infants, or children under the age of five.
Additional funding offered through this amendment will increase monthly case load from 2,030 to 2,080 participants for the remaining one (1) year of the agreement.
If this item is not approved, the department would not have the necessary resources to coordinate this public health program for our community.
