In the past, women have had no single place to turn for detailed information about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the illnesses and health conditions that affect them. OWH developed the National Women's Health Information Center to fill these needs forsimple, accessible, up to date, and accurate women's health information. NWHIC is designed to provide relevant women's health information to a variety of audiences, including consumers, health providers, and researchers.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children - better known as the WIC Program - serves to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, & children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care.
We are North America’s leading nonprofit provider of education, training, and career services for people with disadvantages, such as welfare dependency, homelessness, and lack of education or work experience, as well as those with physical, mental and emotional disabilities. Last year, local Goodwills collectively provided employment and training services to more than 1.1 million individuals.
In this new century, The Salvation Army is serving more people in the USA than ever before. We are already seeing large increases in the number of Americans seeking the basic necessities of life - food,shelter, and warmth. More than 35 million people received help from The Salvation Army in 2006, but the magnitude of the mission facing The Salvation Army in communities throughout the United States remains great.

Kids that do not currently have health insurance are likely to be eligible, even if you are working. The states have different eligibility rules, but in most states, uninsured children 18 years old and younger, whose families earn up to $34,100 a year (for a family of four) are eligible.

The Food Stamp Program helps low-income people and families buy
the food they need for good health. You apply for benefits by completing a State application form. Benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card and accepted at most grocery stores.
