The Georgia Department of Public Health is holding an annual public comment period for its Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. The WIC program provides nutritional education and supplemental food items to low-income pregnant or postpartum women and children under age 5. There are about 8,000 WIC participants in Hall County, a number that stays fairly consistent from year to year, public health nutrition manager Sharon McLeod said.
