Greetings, WIC-nic Vendors & Supporters-
WOW! What an event! Thanks to you, the 2nd Annual WIC-nic was a hugely successful event. In keeping with the World Breastfeeding Week 2022 theme, our whole community really....
"STEPPED UP FOR BREASTFEEDING to EDUCATE AND SUPPORT”!!!
- 28 families, representing a a total of 66 community members....
STEPPED UP to attend the event! It was great to see our participants leaving with arms full of goodies and smiles in their faces, knowing that they were being celebrated and have the support of the community in their lactation journeys! Several families, who are past their breastfeeding/chestfeeding days, STEPPED UP to share their wisdom and support with new parents.
- 9 community organizations...
STEPPED UP to share their time, information and resources. Our clients were able to increase their access to childcare, pediatric care, food access, early childhood development, breastfeeding/chestfeeding support/advocacy, domestic violence safety net services, early literacy, chronic disease prevention, and so much more...
-
7 City of Berkeley tables, representing 9 Public Health programs...
