“WIC foods have become a delightful addition to our family's meals.
We've incorporated these items into our cultural recipes, making sure we keep our traditions alive while staying healthy. For example, we use WIC grains to make our traditional soup recipes or add WIC fruits and veggies to our favorite yogurt smoothies. It's a delicious way to celebrate our heritage while nourishing our bodies.”

“I myself use my benefits to keep my child a healthier baby, for his immune system, and to keep him a happy camper.
Fruits, vegs, milk, bread, and cheese are all the food groups that we have all known for years, and lived by from our mothers and so forth. It also helps to season our meals to have flavor for them as we buy vegetables for that.”
