Planned Parenthood-Orange And San Bernardino Counties Inc

The planned parenthood women infants and children (wic) program provides an essential service to the community by delivering supplemental food, breastfeeding support, and nutrition education to families in need. Wic focused on implementing the new statewide wic wise electronic benefit transfer system in 2020 - 2021 to offer families a more convenient and green way to receive wic benefits. This system eliminated the paper wic checks and replaced them with a benefit card that allows for the supplemental foods to be purchased more efficiently. Wic continues to offer families breastfeeding support, pumps, and education to help increase the population of breastfeeding mothers. Wic is also a community gateway for families to receive referrals to health, dental, and mental health care. Wic has partnered with other community resources as well as hosted many trainings and speakers to help stay aware and educated on the various programs available in our communities. Throughout the year, pposbc wic provided over 114,053 nutrition education, breastfeeding, and food assistance sessions.
