September is Literacy Month, and we're excited to showcase our Little by Little School Readiness Program at PHFE WIC! For many years, we've been dedicated to ensuring every child has the best start on their learning journey. Our program provides beautiful, high-quality children's books and developmental handouts that grow with each child—from the parents' prenatal WIC appointments to age 5. Since 2002, we've given over 2 million books to WIC families. Join us in celebrating literacy and nurturing our little ones for their educational journey!
