Program
1. Program will gather information pertaining to existing nutritional
programs serving low-income populations. Information will be inputed
into existing data based programs. Information will provide the
demographics of clients served and will provide on-going analysis of
agencies that serve this population. Information will also be used to
identify service gaps in existing programs.
2. A portion of funds will be used to service low-income families with
infants that are in need of special formula needs. These families will
only be those that cannot meet their needs through traditional services.
(i .e. WIC program, Supplemental Foods) . Infants served will generally be
referred by the medical field. (i .e. Health Clinics, Physicians, Nurses) .
Program will insure through an intense screening and evaluation that
services are not being duplicated and that services cannot first be met
through existing programs.
