HEY VILLAGERS! —GO TELL IT🎤🎤🎙️🎙️

SUNDAY GRATEFULNESS🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks to The Turner Family Charitable Foundation, the main funder of TVH’s Emergency Formula—Bridging the Gap to WIC program, some of our littlest clients are being fed. And we are very grateful.

And to Tracy Wyant Glaze your donation has provided formula to a total of Four moms and their babies. Thank you!

The program is designed to support postpartum mothers who find themselves in this temporary gap between WIC appointments.

If you have recently been discharged from the hospital and are waiting for your WIC benefits to begin, we may be able to provide short-term assistance with infant formula to help ensure your baby is fed and cared for during this critical time.
