The purpose of the Nutrition Services Office of the county agency is to provide nutrition and dietary counseling to Wilson County residents who participate in the WIC Program. The program provides nutrition education and supplements the diet of the target population with approved foods that are chosen based on their nutritive content. Women who are exclusively breastfeeding receive an enhanced food package assignment that includes tuna and carrots. Foods, with their sizes and amount, are listed on vouchers which are redeemable at the sites of approved WIC vendors. The WIC Program utilizes staff nutritionists who conduct medical and nutritional assessments to determine risk factors for eligibility.
Nutritionists recommend healthy eating habits based on individual needs.
