The Women Infant and Children (WIC) program is turning 50 this year and Burlington County is celebrating with a fun-filled party featuring amusements, games, fitness classes, health screenings and more.
The Burlington County WIC 50th Anniversary Celebration will be held at the Burlington County Agricultural Center on Thursday, Aug. 22, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The free event is open to WIC enrollees and the general public. It will feature community vendors, a bounce house, food trucks, games, developmental and health screenings, yoga and fitness classes, smoothie making, gardening demonstrations and information kiosks related to breastfeeding, nutrition and other health topics.
“Burlington County’s WIC program has evolved over the last five decades, but one constant has been its commitment to helping new and expecting mothers overcome the many different challenges they face,” said Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. “This program and those who run it deserve to be celebrated and recognized, so we look forward to getting a big turnout at our 50th anniversary celebration.”
