Did California WIC get rid of juice? 🧐
The default package now includes more benefits for fruits and vegetables, thanks to feedback from WIC families.
Prefer juice? You still have options! Watch for the details

We asked our WIC counselors: “What’s your favorite thing about being a father?” 👨👧👦
Their heartfelt answers remind us of the important role dads play every day.
To all fathers: thank you for your love and dedication to your families. We celebrate you!🎉
Happy Father’s Day! 💙
Happy Juneteenth!❤️🖤💚
