WIC Program and WIC Vendor Partnership
The partnership between LA WIC and Authorized WIC Vendors is an integral component of a successful nutrition program.
The Vendor's role in the process of improving health is an important one. Vendors ensure that LA WIC Participants receive the correct type and amount of food in the month it is intended to be received. This serves as reinforcement to the LA WIC Participant's nutrition education. The Vendor's role is essential in making the Louisiana WIC Program successful.
