Has anyone heard anything about WIC cuts?
Family member talked today to a friend who works at a WIC (Women, Infant and Children) office. Friend is very concerned about her job situation; seems there are some budget cuts in the offing for the program, and her job will be ending by October 1rst (there's that date, again). Friend says there have already been cuts in the program and she is worried about the families who will be effected by the cuts.
We used WIC when the Dude was a baby and landed unexpectedly in our laps. Formula was (and IS) very expensive, and the program was a huge help. But even then (almost four years ago) it wasn't enough formula to cover the whole month. We still had to buy several cans (doable for us, but to some folks, not so much), but it was a huge help. We have several friends/family with small babies and toddlers. This waves a lot of flags for me.
Hallelujah!
Jesus, you have overcome the World!
Every high place must come down,
Every stronghold shall be broken,
You wear the Victor's Crown!
You've overcome!
You've overcome!
