¡Vale la pena inscribirse en WIC! Una madre de Washington nos cuenta por qué WIC es importante para su familia. 💞

“WIC es muy importante para mi familia porque nos ayuda a acceder a los nutrientes que necesitamos para nuestras comidas. Como familia nueva de 3 integrantes, nos sirvió de mucho su ayuda para llevar una dieta bien equilibrada y evitar consumir alimentos poco saludables. Nos ayudó a obtener los alimentos adecuados que necesitamos para nuestro hijo durante el año pasado, como leche de fórmula, alimentos para bebés, frutas y verduras frescas y todos los alimentos en cada etapa de su alimentación. ¡A nuestra familia le encanta WIC!”

- Madre de WIC, vive en Washington y pertenece a la tribu Swinomish
