Save the Children Action Network Seeks to Boost WIC Program

Because of the pandemic, moms are working harder than ever to keep their kids healthy, safe and fed. Moms want the best for their kids. 

But job losses and a lack of affordable child care have resulted in many moms struggling to provide nourishing food to their kids.

That’s why it’s critical that Congress makes the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program work better for moms. WIC provides vital nutrition to pregnant women, postpartum moms and young children.

In the lead up to Mother’s Day, from May 3 through 9, Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) is organizing a WIC Week of Action. "Our goal is to raise awareness among the public and Congress about the need to improve WIC."

Here are some practical ways to get involved.
