It's almost the biggest game day of the season! Superbowl Sunday is upon us so let's keep those bets on the game and not in the kitchen. Here are a few tips to keep in mind while making all those yummy snacks this Sunday.

*Keep Food Out of the "Danger Zone"

*Never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours. If the temperature is above 90 °F, food should not be left out more than 1 hour.

*Keep hot food hot—at or above 140 °F. Place cooked food in chafing dishes, preheated steam tables, warming trays, and/or slow cookers.
Keep cold food cold—at or below 40 °F. Place food in containers on ice.

This past Saturday two of our rockstar Coordinators represented LCHD at a community services fair held at Authentic Church. This event hosted by the Salvation Army and aimed to connect individuals with essential services and resources. WIC Coordinator Carly Zimmer and Healthy Families Coordinator Ann Marie Kuta presented information on the wonderful services their programs have to offer. In addition to all the information they raffled off a pack and play, and an adorable gift basket. If you were unable to attend this event this past weekend and want some information on WIC and Healthy Families, please call 815-844-7174 or visit our website https://lchd.us/.

📢Important IL WIC Formula Update 📢
Starting February 1, 2026, Illinois WIC will be transitioning from Enfamil products to Similac products.
By May 1, 2026 all Illinois WIC families will have transitioned to Similac products.
Here’s what you need to know:
✔️Any new set of benefits that begin on or after February 1 will include Similac products.
✔️If you currently have Enfamil benefits already loaded on your WIC card through January into February, those benefits will NOT change. The changes will be effective when your February benefits begin.
✔️A WIC staff member will discuss this transition with you at your next appointment.
✔️If your child receives a prescription formula, no changes will be made.
➡️This is a transition period, meaning the change will happen gradually as benefits renew—not all at once.
🙋‍♀️If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our WIC office at 815-844-7174 or email us https://lchd.us/189/Women-Infants-Children-WIC
