A historic shift occurred in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program on Oct. 1.
California WIC Association From PHFE's Shelly Lewis: On the way to San Pedro, I drove past Wilmington and the Sara Lee bread truck was parked in front of the Mommy's WIC-only store. Sara Lee has really worked hard on positioning themselves for WIC business from redesigning their factory line to produce 1 pound loaves to delivery trucks rolling up to point of sale on day 4. Smart!
