WIC Farmers' Market Program: Eligible WIC participants receive summer farmers' market vouchers (see below). Many local farmers' markets also give WIC clients double the value of their vouchers.

Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program

The Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program offers personalized lactation support and education to pregnant and lactating WIC participants. Peer Counselors (PCs) are current or former WIC participants who have successfully breastfed their own children. They receive specialized training and are available via text, call, and in-person at the WIC office. PCs also provide in-home and hospital visits to help establish successful breastfeeding.
In 2023, CUPHD’s Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program received the USDA Gold Award of Excellence, which is good for three years.
