Did you know? 🤔 Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones, keep your teeth healthy, and support your muscles and nerves. 💪

The WIC food package includes milk, yogurt, and cheese to support your calcium intake—you can also opt for dairy-free alternatives like non-dairy milk and yogurt if you or your child has dietary restrictions!
