“WIC services have benefited my family in so many ways. Due to financial strain, the services provided have helped me in being able to provide fresh fruits and veggies to my child. They have also allowed me to get support from the staff of Crescent City WIC services. As a first-time WIC participant, I was very hesitant (pride), but the staff made the process easier and welcoming. As a community advocate, I would always recommend WIC services to families and mothers because I knew how much the family would benefit from the services. Now, I am benefiting from the same services I would recommend to so many. WIC services are needed throughout the community due to the lack of nutritious eating. With the understanding of the various services provided through WIC, I have seen the benefits not only with myself but also with my child. “
