As we continue advocating to extend the Cash Value Benefit (CVB) increase for fruit and vegetables, we encourage WIC participants to share their stories. We want to know how the CVB increase has impacted their lives!

Through this link, participants can record a testimonial, upload photos, and more. National WIC Association will use the content to bolster our CVB advocacy!

Please share widely!
