Members of House Approps are considering a cut to the WIC fruit and veg benefit. Millions of families rely on this proven support to keep kids healthy and thriving. Cutting it would mean fewer fresh foods on the plates of babies, toddlers, and pregnant moms.

Thank you @levin.house.gov for sharing Jade's story about what WIC fruit and vegetables mean for her family with your Appropriations colleagues. If the fruit and vegetable benefit is cut, families all over California will have to say "maybe next time" to healthy fruit and vegetables. #WIC #WICWorks
Special thanks to our speakers and to all our community partners who made the event a success, and the PHFE WIC team who made it happen! 💛
