🍎 Tip: Boost Your Produce!

Want to make your WIC fruit and vegetable benefits go further?
Try these simple tips to save money, reduce waste, and get more produce into your meals:

1️⃣ Try Frozen – Affordable, long-lasting, and great for smoothies, pasta, soups, and more. Look for “no salt or sugar added.”
2️⃣ Try Canned – Easy to find and budget-friendly. Choose veggies with “no salt added” and fruit packed in 100% juice or water.
3️⃣ Shop in Season – Fresh, seasonal produce is often cheaper and tastes better.
4️⃣ Freeze Before It Goes Bad – Chop and freeze what you won’t use in time—perfect for smoothies, sauces, or quick meals.

Fire danger is elevated statewide. Outdoor burning is NOT recommended. Most dry grasses, dead leaves and other vegetative debris could easily ignite and spread quickly.

Discard cigarette butts, matches and other flammable materials in appropriate containers. Use extreme caution when handling potential ignition sources such as machinery and farm equipment.

Before burning, contact your local N.C. Forest Service county ranger’s office for guidance. Contacts: https://bit.ly/3lpoWR0
