WIC is an active promoter and supporter of breastfeeding in the community.
WIC is also an active participant in the Breastfeeding Promotion Coalition
of Stanislaus County; a network of advocates promoting and supporting
breastfeeding through education of families, our community, and health
care providers. Members of the coalition provide trainings for any prenatal
or postpartum staff in the community. The purpose is to increase the knowledge
of the importance of promoting and supporting breastfeeding.
The Coalition meets on the third Thursday of every odd-calendar
month at 7:45am for a breakfast meeting at Denny’s Diner at 1525
McHenry Ave in Modesto. All are welcome, no need to RSVP.
Remember babies were born to be breastfed!
