🌟 Community Bridges is excited to announce that our Community Bridges WIC Program has been selected to participate in Santa Cruz Gives! 🎉Our Big Idea for 2024 is to provide critical support to local women, infants, and children through WIC’s Diaper Initiative Program. 🌈Since 1977, Community Bridges’ WIC program has been serving families throughout Santa Cruz County and the Pajaro Valley, providing essential resources for mothers and children in need. In recent years, the rising cost of diapers has become a significant barrier for families, with prices increasing by 22% since 2018. To help ease this burden, we launched the WIC Diaper Program in 2023, distributing over 852 diaper packs in just nine months. Despite this progress, demand continues to outpace supply.Your donation can make a meaningful difference. By contributing today, you’ll help us expand this critical program, ensuring no family has to choose between diapers and other basic needs. Together, we can provide families with the resources they need to thrive.Donate today at santacruzgives.org/nonprofit/communitybridgeswic/ Thank you for your support!#SantaCruzCountyGives #CommunityBridges #WIC ...
