To improve access to prescribed foods through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), state agencies have been offering online shopping options for enrolled families. This report from the USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) examines the availability of high-speed internet needed to access these options, distance to the nearest WIC-authorized dealer, and compares rural and urban areas.
The ERS also just released Food Banks in the United States: Systems, USDA Programs, and Participation.
