Fitchburg State Community Read

Summer is calling! ☀️🍓Kick off the season with a healthy celebration! Whether you're heading to a park or firing up the grill, MassWIC helps you bring fresh, nutritious food to the table without breaking the bank. Here are 3 Ways to Celebrate with WIC this Weekend:
1️⃣WIC-Approved Grilling: Use your benefits for corn on the cob, peppers, and onions for veggie kabobs!
2️⃣Fresh Fruit Skewers: Early summer strawberries are here! Pair them with melon and grapes for a refreshing picnic treat.
3️⃣Stay Hydrated: Swap sugary sodas for water infused with fresh lemon or berries using your WIC juice benefits.
Don't forget—many farmers' markets are now opening for the season! Check the WIC Shopper App to see where you can use your benefits for the freshest local produce.
How are you kicking off your summer? Tell us in the comments! 👇
