Friend, I’ve got more concerning news on those proposed spending cuts.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children — or WIC, for short — nourishes kids and eligible adults across the U.S.
But Congress is considering serious cuts to WIC’s funding. The numbers we’re hearing could impact more than 5 million young children and pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding adults.
This support protects their lives and futures — and we need your voice to fight for it.
Friend, if these cuts go through, WIC funding will be at its lowest level since 2007.
For the first time in decades, as many as 750,000-800,000 eligible adults and kids could be forced to go on a waitlist without access to support. Benefits for buying fruits and vegetables could be greatly reduced, too, putting countless families’ health at risk.
Send an urgent message: We can’t cut nutrition support during a nationwide hunger crisis.
Thanks for being a voice for kids,
