Did you know your WIC card offers more than you think? 🍎🥬 You can use your benefits to bring home fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables directly from your local farmers market!

Here is exactly how to do it:

Find the right stalls: Not all vendors accept WIC. Look for the official "WIC AUTHORIZED FARMER" sign. If you aren't sure, simply ask the market's information booth for a list of participating local farmers.

Shop local and fresh: Use your WIC benefits to buy your favorite fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Pay with ease: Simply use your WIC Card with the QR code to pay for your produce.

👇 Save this guide using the bookmark icon so you have it ready for your next market visit!

Big learning happens through little moments. ✨ Here, learning happens through play! 🧩

When children build together in our classrooms, they’re doing so much more than stacking blocks—they are developing empathy, communication, and real teamwork.

Our educators don't just guide; they inspire curiosity every single day. Every play experience is a meaningful opportunity to learn, grow, and build essential life skills in a safe, nurturing environment. 💛

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
