Proud to stand with many strong advocates & health professionals for making WIC even better. I am looking to Congress’ support as USDA moves to fully implement the science-based recommendations for WIC: nwica.org/press-releases…

Wanting to increase participation, nutrient dense offerings and meet USDA requirements? Offer smoothies at breakfast or lunch and smiling children are what you will get. USDA will help you with how to credit, but you will get the credit from the kids! bitlylinks.com/wG7KdduK9
