February is , a time to remember and celebrate the accomplishments, contributions, and leadership of Black Americans. Black history is American history, and it’s woven into the fabric of our communities, our health, and our shared future. That legacy includes leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose work for economic justice and food security reminds us that access to basic needs, including nutritious food, is necessary for families to thrive.

At WIC, we celebrate the caregivers, parents, and community leaders who nurture the next generation. 🫂

The health benefits of beta-glucan fiber found in foods like oatmeal include:
🌟reduced blood glucose and insulin response
🌟increased growth of good bacteria in the digestive tract
🌟regulation of type 2 diabetes
