She joins Sheletta to talk about the rippling consequences of the government shutdown, SNAP & WIC benefits and the uncertainties surrounding our social support programs. Sheletta asks about the WIC program, Sara says if you qualify for SNAP that you likely qualify for WIC. Sara also shares how you can apply for WIC and SNAP. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants & Children (WIC) is a nutrition and breastfeeding program that helps eligible pregnant women, new mothers, babies and young children.
