The Missouri WIC Association (MWA) was established in 1988 with the primary purpose being to link local WIC program voices to a statewide forum that acts collectively on their behalf. Our objective is to provide peer support, exchange and influence information, share management techniques and strategies, enhance professional knowledge, promote legislative awareness and work toward quality community nutrition by impacting public health and nutrition services in the state and nationally. MWA is Missouri's local voting voice and direct link to the National WIC Association.
