VENA Counseling Sessions
WIC works because WIC helps people make the important connection between health and nutrition. Our VENA counseling session is a way we can make this connection.
Through our counseling sessions, we have the chance to help people learn what good nutrition really is and how to fit good nutrition into their everyday life.
