A new program to improve the nutritional quality of food, and to further promote breastfeeding, has been put in place this year.  Delaware’s Department of Health and Human Services is one of the first states to implement the new program.

Are you interested in the program? or do you think your family might qualify?  Click HERE to see Delaware’s WIC program website.  For information about the federal funding, click here.
