Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to make nutrition information more accessible as well as inclusive to individuals who are WIC members (The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) specifically located in Cabell County, West Virginia through social media outlets. This research will help WIC clients within the area. Funds of Knowledge, the theory that individuals have valuable knowledge based on life experiences, is the framework for this research. Having information more accessible to the public through the use of Funds of Knowledge and social media, an inclusive space for the community, its members, and the knowledge of its members is created, which can possibly help with increased knowledge levels related to nutrition in these individuals.
