227,000 Texans will be dropped from WIC food program if Congress doesn't act
Some 227,000 new Texas mothers and their kids are at risk of losing access to a key federal nutrition-assistance program because Congress has failed to approve more funding, a recent analysis shows. The funding needs for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children — more commonly known as WIC — have exploded due to rising participation and spiraling food costs. However, federal lawmakers have yet to approve more money to meet those needs.
