What do you find most exciting about working on the WIC team at Open Door?
The environment here in WIC is kind, supportive and loving towards the team and to our WIC participants
Can you share something about the WIC program that people in the community might not know?
Some people may not know that WIC is a free program you and your family can apply to. WIC also provides support on how to breastfeed your child and helps you prepare for the what’s going to happen in the first few hours after giving birth.
If you could only give one piece of advice about nutrition to the general community, what would it be?
Eat lots of vegetables and drink a lot of water. Try breastfeeding your child- it has many benefits for the child’s health now and in the future.
