Parents and guardians of kids under 5! π£ Are you eligible for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program?
March is National Nutrition Month - it's the perfect time to look into WIC. WIC provides free food, nutrition and health education, breastfeeding support, and more. Anyone who meets income guidelines and is pregnant or caring for a child under 5 is welcome at WIC.
βWIC improves health for babies, children, and parents while helping families save money,β says Gayathri Akella, MS, RD, IBCLC, WIC Supervisor.
βParticipating in WIC throughout pregnancy and until a child is five years old can save a family over $5,000! This frees up money for other essential costs like diapers, childcare, and housing.β
"Many families tell us that WIC is the reason they have enough food at home,β says Erika Chanderraj, MPH, RDN, LCE, WIC Service Coordinator.
βWith increasing food prices, our program continues to support families with healthy food, including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and different protein sources."
Call our WIC team at 734-544-6800 or email wic@washtenaw.org to see if you're eligible. Get more details using the link in the comments.
