Thank you, PHFE WIC
PHFE WIC held its fourth annual Family Resource fair on May 20, 2025, at the Whitter Narrows Recreation Area in El Monte Valley, California. Over a thousand families connected with our community partners today and received resources for child care, children’s books, diapers, nutrition education, and so much more.
The event highlights WIC’s commitment to being a part of growing families’ support system. WIC builds trust with its program participants and is deeply connected with other local resources and community-based organizations. As a result, WIC connects families to resources they may not know about.
Latch On: Celebration of Public Breastfeeding
In honor of breastfeeding, PHFE WIC hosted its second annual “Latch On” event, inviting breastfeeding parents for a big group photo. Over 100 amazing moms came together to create a fun and memorable experience, normalizing breastfeeding in our community.
Special thanks to our speakers: Peter Dale, Chief Program Officer of Heluna Health; Megan Esparza, California WIC Association Executive Director; Cindy Clapp, PHFE WIC Deputy Director; and Kiran Saluja, Executive Director of PHFE WIC.
To our dedicated WIC staff and community partners, thank you for participating, supporting, and promoting this event. Your collective efforts make a difference in the lives of families in our community.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Families receiving Medi-Cal, CalFresh, or CalWORKS may be income-eligible for WIC.
Each foster child is counted as a family of one.

If you qualify for WIC, you will receive a WIC card that you can use to buy food each month. The counselor will make sure you understand your benefits, ask about your family’s health and nutrition, provide nutrition information, and connect you to other programs you qualify for. This might be done at the same time as your eligibility assessment or at a future appointment. Welcome to WIC!
