If you are NOT a WIC shopper, please be mindful of which foods at the grocery store have a WIC label, and try to choose a different product if it's available. WIC shoppers don't have as much flexibility in what they can purchase, and during these times of empty shelves, it's important that we all try to make sure that everyone has what they need.
HEALTHY FAMILIES...STRONG COMMUNITIES...BRIGHT FUTURES!
