As we all know, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a statewide shelter-in-place order for all Californians, except certain essential employees and residents acquiring necessities, such as food, prescriptions, and health care.
If your income has been affected by recent events, and you are pregnant, recently had a baby, or have an infant or child under the age of five, you may be qualified to receive WIC services, which provides healthy foods and support services to families.
You can apply online at cchealth.org/wic or call 1 (800) 414-4WIC.

I usually pickup food for a family member from the Monument Crisis Center, but since this crisis has began, they closed for their normal operations. We see other cities like Antioch, Danville and Pleasanton supplying food and/or groceries, but what about Concord? Where Families Come First? They should change the name of the Monument Crisis Center.
