COUNTY LEGISLATORS MILLER-WILLIAMS, GRANT, WHYTE SCHEDULE COMMUNITY WIC MEETING AT LIBRARY MARCH 25

Erie County Legislators Barbara Miller-Williams (D-Buffalo, 3rd District), Betty Jean Grant (D-7th District) and Majority Leader Maria R. Whyte (D-Buffalo, 6th District) are sponsoring a community meeting on whether or not the county executive will continue Erie County's WIC contract and the County Legislature's support of continuing the contract from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library, 1324 Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo.

The County Legislature unanimously voted to support continuing the Women, Infants and Children nutritional program (WIC), and Legislators Miller-Williams, Grant and Whyte believe it is very important for citizens to have the opportunity to express their opinions and experiences with the WIC program. The program serves about 16,000 mothers and children in need throughout Erie County.

For more information, please call Legislator Miller-Williams' office at 842-0490, Legislator Grant's office at 894-0914 or Legislator Whyte's office at 874-3257.
