  • Today, @USDANutrition announced a series of grant opportunities to improve the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) experience for current participants and help mothers, babies, and young kids thrive. This measure represents @POTUS’ broader commitment to equity and ensuring nutrition security for generations to come. Learn more https://fns.usda.gov/news-item/fns-008.23
