bullet 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).
