To the Editor:

We are South Dakota State nursing students working in collaboration with the Nobles-Rock Community Health Services. Our goal is to increase public awareness of the WIC program. The WIC program is a national program aimed at improving the nutritional status of women, infants and children, by providing the participants with vouchers for foods such as milk, cheese, eggs, dried beans, peanut butter, cereals, juices and canned tuna. The WIC program also provides its participants with nutrition education, counseling on nutrition, and support with breastfeeding, as well as referrals to health care.To qualify for WIC, a few simple eligibility requirements must be met. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, recently had a baby, or if you have infants birth to 1 year and children 1 year to 5 years, contact the Nobles-Rock Public Health Service office in Worthington at (507) 372-8256 for more information on the eligibly requirements and services offered.Tiffany GeidalTraci LentschCrystal PatzlaffTracy Ingebrigston
