WIC and Food Stamps are two different programs. WIC is a federal nutrition education program with food vouchers. Your children might qualify. I suggest you talk to a social worker about your options and not judge others based on their economic status or skin color.

To the caller who is concerned about state employee raises. I'd like to remind him who works for the state. Social workers, fighting for children's right, protecting those who have the least. Ask my case working friends who now have forced furlough days, and raise freezes how they are getting by. The case load is the same, and they are expected to work less days. Do you find our human service workers undeserving of the raises they've been denied this past year?
