Background
WIC is federally funded and regulated to provide healthy supplemental food, referral services, and nutrition education for eligible women, infants, and children under the age of five. The County of El Dorado Health and Human Services Agency has administered the WIC program for both El Dorado and Alpine counties for over thirty years.
Reason for Recommendation
On May 27, 2014, the Health and Human Services Agency submitted an application to the California Department of Public Health for Federal Fiscal Year Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children funding signed by the Director of the Health and Human Services Agency as authorized by Board of Supervisors Policy A-6, Grants - Application & Administration.
California Department of Public Health Agreement 14-10248 awards $784,874 to the County of El Dorado for provision of WIC program services to eligible residents in El Dorado and Alpine counties during the term of October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. The award and grant agreement are being brought before the Board for acceptance in accordance with Board of Supervisors Policy A-6, Grants - Application & Administration.
If the funding is not accepted, HHSA will not be able to provide the supportive nutritional assistance to eligible women, infants, and children under five years of age in El Dorado and Alpine counties.
