is a nutrition program that provides nutrition education, breastfeeding
promotion and support, nutritious supplemental food vouchers and
referrals to health and social services. Low income pregnant women,
new mothers, and children under the age of five are screened for
financial and nutritional risk eligibility. Clients may be referred
