History |
| |
The WIC Works Resource System (WWRS)
began in January 2000 as a joint project between the National
Agricultural Library/Food and Nutrition Information Center,
USDA/Food and Nutrition
Service, and the University
of Maryland. The WIC Works mission is “to serve
as an encompassing resource for WIC nutritionists and other
WIC professionals nationwide.” Since that time, the WWRS
has grown to become an informative and thorough online resource
for health and nutrition professionals serving in the Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children
(WIC).
