State, feds ease nutrition program income guidelines
CONCORD, N.H. --More New Hampshire residents will be eligible for help from two state and federal nutrition programs under new income guidelines.
New Hampshire's Department of Health and Human Services says the Women, Infants and Children Program has increased the amount of money families can make and still be eligible for help. The program for low- to-moderate-income families provides nutrition education, food vouchers, breast-feeding support and referrals to health and human service programs.
Income limits also have increased for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program that provides low-income residents who are at least 60 years old with monthly food boxes.
