Apr 9, 2024 | 7:32 PM

New rules for the Women, Infants and Children food program will provide more money and options for fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The program also includes canned fish in more food packages and allows for more non-dairy substitutes.  The program has reduced the amounts for juice and milk.  Last year, 6.6 million mothers, babies and young children participated in WIC , however, that is only about half of those who are eligible for the program.  You can learn more about the WIC program on the Tennessee Department of Health website.
