In California, WIC will remain open and fully operational through November. Families should keep their scheduled WIC appointments and use their WIC cards for groceries as usual. Find updates at: myfamily.wic.ca.gov/Home/Federal... #WIC #WICWorks #FundWIC

In a survey of active duty military spouses, 7% reported that they use the WIC program. Threats to WIC are threats to military families. download.militaryonesource.mil/12038/MOS/Pr...

SNAP keeps millions fed and communities stable. The authority to sustain the program exists; what is missing is the will to use it. USDA must act now to prevent hunger and deliver all November SNAP benefits on time. Frac.org

CalFresh (SNAP) and CalWORKs (TANF) benefits will be provided through October 2025, but future benefits may be at risk if the federal government shut down continues. Get more info here! 👇 benefitscal.com

NEW: Despite White House statements implying that #WIC benefits for low-income families would be immediately disrupted if the government partially shuts down this week, the Trump Administration & state officials have several steps they could & should take to keep WIC running.

Every dollar cut from the WIC fruit and veggie benefit is food taken from an expecting mom’s or child’s plate. We need to INVEST in families, not take food away. #FundWIC #WICWorks

WIC improves the health, nutrition, and well-being of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding individuals, infants, and young children from households with low incomes. Tell your Representative: Pass the Senate bill and fully fund WIC! secure.everyaction.com/52FxE_bL7kuT...

Low-income parents and young children rely on #WIC to afford healthy food. While the Senate bill fully funds the program for now, Congress must still act to protect nutrition assistance and ensure WIC remains fully funded in 2026. www.cbpp.org/blog/senate-...

Congress is trying to cut the WIC fruit & veggie benefit. These cuts would hurt millions of families with infants and young children. 📢 Speak up against WIC cuts: 202-224-3121 #fundWIC #wicworks #WIC

📉 A 10% cut to fruits and veggies, with more cuts on the way? That’s what’s on the table for WIC. This means less fresh food for moms and children during the most critical years of life. Congress must say NO. #fundWIC #WICWorks

The WIC fruit and vegetable benefit has resulted in kids eating more produce on a daily basis. WIC works, and has positive health outcomes to show for it! Cutting WIC would be short-sighted, bad for families, and bad for communities. #WICWorks #WIC #fundWIC

Every dollar the House proposes to cut from the WIC fruit and veggie benefit would be food taken from an expecting mom’s or child’s plate. We need to INVEST in families, not take food away. #FundWIC #WICWorks

For almost 30 years, Congress has provided WIC with enough funding to ensure that no eligible low-income family is turned away & participants receive full benefits. The Senate's funding bill would continue that promise. The House version would both underfund WIC & cut benefits.

🍎 WIC provides essential nutrition to nearly half of all babies born in the U.S. Cutting fruits and veggies? That’s cutting into their future. We say NO. 📞 Call Congress: 202-224-3121 #fundWIC #WICWorks

The WIC fruit and vegetable benefit helps prevent hunger, support growth, and build healthy habits. Congress must protect it — not slash it. Say it loud: Hands off WIC! #WICWorks #fundWIC

There is nothing American about taking food out of the mouths of millions of children and families in need. SNAP cuts raise deep concerns, as reductions would harm families & strain the operations of food banks & other community resources. #NoCutsToSNAP #NoCutsToOurCare

Congress is considering cuts to the WIC fruit and vegetable benefit — putting access to healthy food at risk for millions of families. In our new Sacramento Bee op-ed, we explain why this benefit is essential for young children and families in California and beyond. www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

16 million people would lose health coverage and become uninsured under the Republican health agenda, including 1,967,000 people in California. Policymakers should protect people’s health care, not cut it.

#PublicHealth pros, have you seen firsthand how WIC fruit and veg benefit supports families' health? We’re collecting stories that highlight the real-world impact of this vital support as funding debates continue in Congress. #WIC #WICWorks #FundWIC #fruitandveggies #registereddietitian

The #BigUglyBill will rip #HealthCare & food support away from children, families, veterans, & our disabled community. This bill is BAD for families in poverty & BAD for working families. Urge Congress to #SayNo to cuts that hurt children & families! tinyurl.com/VoteNoOnBUB

The Senate Ag Committee proposal would dramatically expand #SNAP's harsh work requirement, putting older adults up to 65 & parents of kids as young as 10 at risk of being cut off SNAP after only 3 months. See how many people are at risk in your state: www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Members of House Approps are considering a cut to the WIC fruit and veg benefit. Millions of families rely on this proven support to keep kids healthy and thriving. Cutting it would mean fewer fresh foods on the plates of babies, toddlers, and pregnant moms. #WIC #WICWorks #fruitandvegetables

85 cents a day may not sound like a lot for a parent to purchase fruits & veggies for their toddler. Yet the House Ag Approps Chair called this amount “hugely inflated” & wants to eventually cut the already modest $26 monthly #WIC benefit to $10/month. appropriations.house.gov/schedule/mar...

Thank you @underwood.house.gov ! 👏

Thank you @levin.house.gov for sharing Jade's story about what WIC fruit and vegetables mean for her family with your Appropriations colleagues. If the fruit and vegetable benefit is cut, families all over California will have to say "maybe next time" to healthy fruit and vegetables. #WIC #WICWorks

🍉🥦🥑Studies show that millions of #WIC kids are eating healthier due to the increased fruit and vegetable benefit. ✏️Tell your reps: Don’t take fruits and veggies from our kids! bit.ly/nocuts26 #WICStrong

Fight cuts to WIC fruit and veg! We have story submission tools available for WIC participants, staff, other health professionals, grocers and farmers to share the difference the WIC fruit and vegetable benefit has made for them. calwic.org/resource-hub...

Slashing WIC’s fruit and vegetable benefits would gut a proven, critical investment in maternal and child health while undermining California’s families, farmers, and food economy. Read CWA's blog post on recent threats to WIC's fruit and vegetable benefit. calwic.org/wic-ambassad...

The House Approps Committee proposes to cut 10% from WIC's fruit and vegetable benefit 10% “to begin a reset to pre-covid levels." We can not take steps backward when it comes to low-income families access to healthy food. The full, evidence-based cash value benefit must remain in place!

It’s hard to keep track of everything going on in Congress right now, but one thing not to miss: the House just released an agriculture appropriations bill that fails to fully fund WIC + would cut fruit & vegetable benefits for 5+ million new & expecting moms & young kids.

President Trump’s budget would slash #WIC funding for new and expecting parents and young children by taking away more than $1.3 billion in fruit and vegetable benefits from 5.2 million participants. See the impact in your state: www.cbpp.org/blog/trump-b...

The President’s FY26 budget would severely cut the fruit and vegetable benefit, reducing it by 62% to 75% and leaving low-income pregnant women with only $13 monthly, and low-income parents with only $10 monthly for fruits & vegetables for their toddlers & preschoolers.

Even with the increase, #WIC aims to provide only HALF of children’s recommended fruit & vegetable intake. Nonetheless, the increase has been extremely popular & led to a striking increase in fruit and vegetable consumption by participating children. media.nwica.org/nwa-multi-st...

#WIC provides specific foods chosen through a rigorous, science-based process, including fruits & vegetables. Based on a National Academies recommendation, Congress increased the cash-like fruit & vegetable benefit in 2021. nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/2365...

The nutritious foods provided by #WIC—along with other vital WIC services — lead to healthier births and improved diets among participants, which in turn reduce the risk of chronic disease. www.cbpp.org/wicworks

President Trump’s 2026 budget would cut #WIC food benefits by more than $1.3 billion for more than 5 million young children and new & expecting parents with low incomes by slashing their fruit & vegetable benefits, despite the Administration’s stated goal of improving child health.

Trump wants to make massive cuts to WIC’s fruit and vegetable assistance to low-income mothers and young children. This will take away healthy foods from families. So much for “Make America Healthy Again.”

🥕The Republican House Bill makes the largest cuts to food and health care in history, to fund tax breaks to the wealthy. We stand with our children and families and say #HandsOff! @calbudgetcenter.org

The bill House Republicans passed last week would be the deepest cut to #SNAP in history. Our new paper explains the 4 ways this bill would take food assistance away from low-income people, including families with kids, seniors, and people with disabilities. Link below ⤵️

The House reconciliation bill now taking shape would take health coverage away & dramatically raise health care costs for millions. When ppl lose their health coverage, they lose access to preventive & primary care, care for life-threatening conditions, and treatments for chronic conditions.

Happy to be at the Capitol today with our friends at @endchildpovca.bsky.social for their #Imagine2025 rally and advocacy day! The legislature must reject harmful cuts and delays to programs that help keep vulnerable families safe!

What would House Republicans' $300 billion #SNAP cut mean? Millions of low-income people would lose some or all of the food assistance they need to afford groceries. We've started crunching the numbers on the deepest cut to food assistance in history:

The House reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid by *at least* $600 billion - biggest Medicaid cut in history - and would put millions at risk of losing coverage or facing higher health care costs through work requirements and ACA changes: www.cbpp.org/research/hea...
