Worried About WIC

I know the government shutdown sucks all around, but it seems like different things jump out at everyone. Apart from the public health functions of the CDC and the environmental protection functions of the EPA, the loss that worries me the most is WIC.  I know people are okay so far - my understanding is that they already have this monthly cycle safe and then they have a bit of reserve, but if things go on for more than a month or so, lots of babies and little kids and pregnant women could go hungry.  I hope it doesn't go that far.
