We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. Since the opening of the first clinic in 1974, WIC has been committed to improving maternal and child outcomes.
The April WIC 50th Anniversary Partner Toolkit (PDF) is ready and includes a WIC Diversity and Equity video, social media graphics, and sample social media post language. (NOTE: the May toolkit has not yet been released, NWA will share content on their website when it is available, and we’ll share an update next week)
Check out the WIC 50th Anniversary webpage for additional resources.
