WIC Tribal & Territory Study Launched
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service will run a new study collecting information from all 32 Indian Tribal Organizations, 5 U.S. territories that operate WIC State agencies, 5 tribally operated local WIC agencies, and about 15 State WIC agencies that border Tribal Organizations. The study will learn how WIC operations differ across these agencies and the results may inform efforts to improve WIC program operations and participant services.
