Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment 4 to IGA# ADHS 11-005806, WIC Services, Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program (BFPC), and Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services in the amount of $560,339, $48,447, and “as needed”, respectively, for the period of 10/1/12 – 9/30/13.
Background:
The WIC Program is a supplemental nutrition program for income-eligible women, infants, and children. The Program provides clients with nutrition education and referrals to social services within the County. The Program also provides food vouchers to clients for a variety of staple foods, including: juice, milk, eggs, peanut butter, and beans.
The Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program will provide services that complement the WIC-provided breastfeeding education by allowing for additional, more in-depth education by a peer counselor trained through breastfeeding curriculum. The goal of the BFPC program is to increase the incidence and duration of breastfeeding for all breastfeeding women in Cochise County.
The Farmers Market Nutrition Program is intended to increase consumption of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables by providing FMNP checks to a limited number of WIC women and children to purchase these items directly from growers at ADHS-approved farmers’ market.
Amendment 4 reduces the amount of funding for WIC Services due to reduced caseload: from 4000 to 3700 annually.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The WIC Program has provided nutrition services to low income families in Cochise County for over 30 years. Approximately 4200 county residents would be impacted by the discontinuation of the WIC Program. During these tough economic times Cochise County families are depending on the WIC Program to help meet their nutritional needs.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
A fully executed original will be sent to the Clerk of the Board for filing purposes.
