The USDA has proposed making the increase to the WIC fruit and vegetable benefit permanent - just like WIC families have been hoping for! Do you support keeping the fruit and veg bump for good? Then let USDA know!

Being able to receive more fruit and veggies, and receive WIC services via phone or video chat has been a game changer for families. Urge Congress to make these provisions permanent! https://t.co/YaeEU3Th3Q
