WIC FY 2003 Breastfeeding Grants
On August 26, 2003, FNS announced the names of the applicants
who were selected to receive funding in support of the WIC grant project
entitled, “Using Loving Support To Build a Breastfeeding Friendly
Community.” Eight State
Agencies and two Indian Tribal Organizations were selected to receive grant awards.
The purpose of the project is to allow WIC agencies to
receive training and technical assistance on how to develop a
comprehensive breastfeeding program; and to develop an implementation plan
that targets the breastfeeding needs and barriers unique to the service
area/population of each agency. Best Start
Social Marketing and the State of Mississippi will assist the selected
States in developing the implementation plans and will provide hands-on
training on practical strategies for building an effective breastfeeding
promotion program.
