This year we are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of TrueCare WIC, a vital program that has provided crucial nutritional support to families. WHY: Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of infant mortality, affecting thousands of newborns each year. Proper nourishment is critical for these vulnerable infants, and when a mother's breast milk is unavailable or insufficient, pasteurized donor human milk is the best alternative to prevent NEC and boost survival rates. Despite high breastfeeding rates in California, there is a large donor milk distribution problem, leading to shortages for sick or premature infants.

TrueCare champions health care for all, making their services available to everyone regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. They offer a sliding scale of low to no-cost care for self-paying patients who qualify, along with flexible payment options.
