California WIC Program
California by far has the largest WIC program in the nation. It is a program of the California Department of Public Health which administers contracts with 84 local agencies – half local governments and half private, non-profit community organizations – which serve 1.46 million participants at 650 local sites statewide (The majority of participants are Latino (78%), Caucasian (8%), African-American (5.5%), Asian (5%), and Native American (<1%)), with FY 2010 food expenditures of $827 million and nutrition services and administration expenditures of $304 million.〔USDA, ("WIC Program: Foodcost" ), 2011〕
== Organizational Structure ==
The Department of Health Services WIC Branch is in charge of administering all WIC funds. It allocates the funds to local agencies. Agencies receive about $100/year per participant enrolled for nutrition services and administrative expenditures (exclusive of the food budget); thus an agency serving 25,000 participants receives approximately $2,500,000 from the state to run all services related to nutrition services and administration of the program.〔Whaley & True, ("California WIC and Proposition 10: Made for Each Other" ), UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families and Communities, 2000〕
Approximately 3,000 local WIC staff members assess and document program eligibility based on residency, income, and health or nutrition risk, and issue 7 million food checks each month. Each check is valid for a 30-day period and is payable for a specific type and quantity of food. The retail value of the checks is about $60 per month per participant.〔Van Eyken, M. ("California WIC Program at a Glance" ), 2011〕
A local WIC site – whether a permanent clinic, a small storefront, or a folding table in a firehouse or church basement – is a fixture of nearly every small town, low-income neighborhood, and reservation in California. Local WIC agencies run WIC sites which are also called clinics. WIC agencies are evenly divided between those based in 48 county public health programs and 52 non-profit providers, some of which operate programs in more than one county. However, non-profit contractors serve the majority of WIC participants in the state. Local agencies range in size from small rural or neighborhood sites serving less than 1,000 to large urban agencies, such as one with a caseload of 316,825 participants, dwarfing most state WIC agencies.〔Van Eyken, M. ("California WIC Program at a Glance" ), 2011〕
