    (2) diet-based risks such as poor eating habits that can lead to poor nutritional and health status.
    Clients will be counseled at WIC about these risks and the outcome influenced by nutrition education and nutritious foods provided by WIC.
  • Live in Texas
    WIC clients usually receive services in the county where they live. U.S. citizenship is not a requirement for eligibility.
