WIC open house is today at OCCHA

Mahoning Youngstown Community Action Partnership will host a celebration of the Women Infant and Children (WIC) Program from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at the OCCHA Center, 3660 Shirley Road. The WIC staff will receive certificates for service at 1 p.m.

Because of state budget cuts and a trend for local health agencies to oversee the program, Mahoning County District Board of Health in Austintown will administer the WIC Program beginning Oct. 1.
