The Local Vendor Liaison Initiative aims to transform the retail landscape across California by connecting local vendors with the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. Representatives from all 82 local WIC agencies are collaborating to engage approximately 3,800 WIC-authorized stores and enhance community access to nutritious food. This initiative emphasizes the importance of building partnerships at the local level to successfully implement food package improvements and strengthen neighborhood markets, facilitating a healthier retail environment for all.
