March is National Nutrition Month, a time to recognize that it is essential to have consistent access to affordable, culturally appropriate, and healthy food. Programs like WIC play a critical role in helping families put healthy habits into practice. CDPH supports 14 WIC clinics across the city, ensuring families have convenient access to services in their own communities. In addition, the Greater Lawn West 55th Street WIC clinic is partnering with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to provide free fresh fruits and vegetables to WIC and behavioral health clients. Once a month, the Depository drops off produce at the WIC clinic, where volunteers and staff work together to bag and distribute it to clients. Distribution takes place on the second Wednesday of each month from 9:30 am to 11:00 am. For more information about WIC clinics, please visit chicago.gov/WIC.
