👔Father's Day is around the corner!

This year, celebrate dads, fathers-to-be, or supportive persons and show them how they can support moms and babies. We're hosting our Breastfeeding Support Circle with a Father's Day twist on Thursday, June 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. at our health center located at 4414 N. Florissant.

We will have gift cards and diapers available to give away while supplies last. Please be sure to scan the QR code and register in advance.

Today we honor World Human Milk Donation Day 💜

Every ounce donated can make a lifesaving difference for babies in need. Human milk donors provide hope, nourishment, and support to families during some of their most vulnerable moments.

WIC proudly celebrates the generosity of milk donors and the dedication of breastfeeding families, lactation professionals, and community partners who help babies thrive every day. ✨

Thank you for helping give every baby a healthier start.

Dads, you are part of the breastfeeding process, too! Supporting Mom through her journey will help your little one get the healthy start they need. Moms, how does your partner make breastfeeding easier for you? Let us know in the comments!
