WIC FY 2002 Breastfeeding Grants
On May 20, 2002, 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.” Nine State
Agencies were selected to receive grant awards.
The purpose of the project is to allow State 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 each of the
selected States. 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.
