WIC wins TEAM award

Macon County WIC (Women, Infants, and Children program) and EFNEP (Expanded Food and Nutrition Program) have recently been named recipients of the NC Cooperative Extension Service’s TEAM award.

The TEAM award recognized the two programs for enhancing nutrition education services for Macon County residents by combining their efforts and “working smarter” together.

Last year 95 percent of the WIC clients who graduated EFNEP experienced improved nutrition behavior practices.
