What WIC Can Do:
- Provide individualized nutrition education in an easy-to-understand format that is appropriate for the learning level of the participant/caregiver. Most education materials should be written for a 5th to 7th grade reading level. Be sensitive to the unique learning needs and style of the participant/caregiver, which may mean using food models, posters, and handouts.
- Provide referrals to medical providers, Registered Dietitians, Peer Counselors, Certified Lactation Counselors, and other services, if available, in their community.
- Providing individualized food packages, tailored to meet the needs of participants.
- Promote food choices of high nutritional quality while avoiding unnecessary or excessive amounts of calorie rich foods and beverages and reducing inactivity (like decreasing sedentary TV viewing).

Eastern Shoshone Tribe: For so many, WIC is not only a rewarding job or career, but also their passion and life's work. The small but mighty team of the Eastern Shoshone WIC Program serves as one example with a combined 90 years of service to WIC families in their community. To all who have worked in WIC over these past 50 years, and to those whose passion has made WIC their life's work, we thank you!
