National WIC Association (NWA) leverages and amplifies existing federal dollars to increase access to healthy food and WIC program effectiveness in communities nationwide. Only about half of eligible low-income families take advantage of the healthy food and nutrition education available through WIC. NWA works to change that through community outreach, reducing barriers to participation, and ensuring WIC providers/agencies don’t have to “reinvent the wheel.” Through materials, technical assistance, training, and peer learning, it strengthens WIC in over 12,000 communities across the country.
