A very important PSA: WIC is still open and available to help women and children under 5 years old during the government shutdown. I just toured one such WIC center in my district that is working to make sure those in need get support. (1/2)

Big news! 🎉 WIC is fully funded through Sept 2026. Pregnant or have a child under 5? Apply now! This $8.2B means reliable nutrition support when families need it most. Share & help connect families to WIC. When families thrive, we all win! 💚 #phfewic #cawic #wicisfullyfunded

WIC's success is backed by decades of research. On Dr. Jessica Knurick's podcast, Dr. Shannon Whaley explains how WIC's four pillars and science-based food package improve birth outcomes, and what happens when funding gaps threaten families. open.substack.com/pub/drjessic...
