A graphic showing a persimmon with a quote from Alexis, a WIC mom from Fresno says "If the vegetable benefit was cut it would impact mine and my kids' lives tremendously. We rely on the benefits we receive from WIC for our fresh produce every day. We would have to cut out our fruits and vegetables, or it would be limited to a few. WIC has helped me keep my children healthy and enjoying foods that they need."
President Trump’s budget for FY 27, which proposes to reduce the monthly fruit and veg benefits from $54 to $13 for breastfeeding mothers and from $27 to $10 for young children.
This proposal would mean fewer fresh, healthy foods for families who rely on this critical support.
