Today we honor World Human Milk Donation Day 💜

Every ounce donated can make a lifesaving difference for babies in need. Human milk donors provide hope, nourishment, and support to families during some of their most vulnerable moments.

WIC proudly celebrates the generosity of milk donors and the dedication of breastfeeding families, lactation professionals, and community partners who help babies thrive every day. ✨

Thank you for helping give every baby a healthier start.
