1. Black History Month

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. 🫂

Learn more about Dr. King’s work on hunger and food justice: https://blog.ucs.org/sarah-reinhardt/dr-kings-demands-for-food-justice/



Mes de la Historia Afroamericana

Febrero es el , un tiempo para recordar y celebrar los logros, contribuciones y liderazgo de los afroamericanos. La historia afroamericana es historia estadounidense, y está entretejida en nuestras comunidades, nuestra salud y nuestro futuro compartido. Ese legado incluye líderes como el Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., cuyo trabajo por la justicia económica y la seguridad alimentaria nos recuerda que el acceso a las necesidades básicas, incluyendo alimentos nutritivos, es esencial para que las familias prosperen.

En WIC, celebramos a los cuidadores, padres y líderes comunitarios que nutren a la próxima generación. 🫂

5. Winter Wellness & Immune Support
As the weather gets chillier and winter flu and cold season continues, it’s important to take steps to prevent illness and to check in with you and your child’s health care providers. ❄️
To boost your winter wellness, prioritize sleep, take vitamin D supplements (with approval from your doctor), sip herbal teas to warm your body, use a humidifier to prevent nose bleeds and sore throats from dry winter air, and wash your hands regularly with warm soapy water. 🍵💤🧼
WIC also offers health care referrals and nutrition education to help your family stay healthy this season, learn more at www.signupwic.com!


A medida que el clima se vuelve más frío y continúa la temporada de resfriados y gripe invernal, es importante tomar medidas para prevenir enfermedades y mantenerse en contacto con los proveedores de atención médica tuyos y de tu hijo/a. ❄️
Para fortalecer tu bienestar durante el invierno, prioriza el descanso, toma suplementos de vitamina D (con la aprobación de tu médico), disfruta de tés herbales para mantener tu cuerpo caliente, usa un humidificador para prevenir sangrados nasales y dolor de garganta causados por el aire seco del invierno, y lávate las manos con regularidad con agua tibia y jabón. 🍵💤🧼
