Program Background and Details
This program began as an expansion of a similar program offered for WIC recipients and has been wildly popular. It is paid for with money from state and federal sources. Locally it is administrated by our favorite partners, the Montgomery County Office of Aging and Adult Services, and we do what we can to assist.
