Fabian Ulloa, WIC vendor coordinator, said the donated food items include reduced fat and soy milk, cheese, eggs, 100 percent juice — frozen and liquid — sardines, tuna, dry and baby cereal, dried beans, brown rice, wheat bread and peanut butter.
WIC Director Josephine Tudela said the program wanted to provide assistance to Karidat and its shelter for victims of domestic abuse and human trafficking, Guma Esperansa, or the House of Hope.
The WIC is a federally funded nutrition education and supplemental food program for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and post-partum women as well as infants and children up to five years of age.
Eligibility is determined by nutritional risk and incomes that fall below 185 percent of the poverty level, Tudela said.
