Iron helps your blood carry oxygen to all parts of your body so you can move, play, and think clearly. It also keeps your muscles working and helps your body make important hormones! Iron is especially important for growing babies and small children and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

You can get iron from foods like meat, beans, spinach, nuts, and cereal. 🥬 Need help eating healthy? WIC can help! Find a clinic near you: www.signupwic.com/find-a-clinic

You don't need fancy equipment to grow food—just a little space and the right know-how. Whether you’ve got a sunny windowsill, some patio space, or a patch of soil, you can grow your own food—even if it’s your very first plant.

It’s not as complicated as it seems! Start with easy-to-grow plants, and before you know it, you'll be harvesting fresh fruits 🍓, veggies 🥕, herbs 🌿, legumes 🫘, or even mushrooms 🍄!
