Autism Awareness Month
It’s , a time for autism awareness and acceptance. 💗 This month, we celebrate neurodiversity while recognizing the unique needs of families. WIC can help parents raising autistic children by providing access to healthy foods, tailored nutrition support for sensory needs, referrals to healthcare and community services, and judgment-free support for all types of families!

Every child deserves to thrive in their own way, and we’re here to support your family every step of the way. Find a WIC clinic near you at www.signupwic.com/find-a-clinic 📍

New Vaccine Option Now Available 🐔

We heard your feedback… we are now offering vaccines in chicken nugget form! No needles necessary. We offer 4-piece (childhood vaccines) or 10-piece (adult vaccines) with your choice of dipping sauce.

Crispy on the outside, protected on the inside.

___________

Okay, not quite 😄 Happy April Fools Day!

While nugget vaccines may not be real, real vaccines are safe, effective, and one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family.

Call or stop by your local health department today and make sure you are up-to-date on your immunizations!

Need ideas to keep those kiddos busy at home? Why not play some games that also teach healthy habits!

🧸 Stuffed Animal Check-Up – Let kids play doctor and give their toys a “health check.”
🥕 Build a Healthy Plate – See who can create the most colorful snack or lunch.
🐸 Move Like an Animal – Hop like a frog, waddle like a duck, or crawl like a bear across the room.
🦠 Soap vs. Germs Challenge – Fill a plate with water and sprinkle in pepper. Touch with soapy fingers and watch the “germs” scatter!

Healthy habits don't need to be boring 💚
