“This year, we are aiming on helping people identify their support system so that they know if they have a question, if they've got a problem, if they need something, who are they going to call?” said Lori Nester, breastfeeding coordinator for the Allen County WIC program. “And that can include family and friends, knowing who to call at your doctor’s office, at the hospital, the WIC office — wherever you might need to make that call.”

“We're very supportive of the Allen County Children's Services Board and the assistance that they provide not only to the children, but to the families that are in need,” Kohlrieser said. “We're hoping to help combat any issues of neglect or dependency, to help these families that are in crisis, to show a little support and hopefully benefit them in some way.”
