Congratulations to the Brookdale WIC team on receiving the USDA Gold Breastfeeding Award of Excellence!

This prestigious recognition from the USDA's WIC Breastfeeding Award of Excellence Program honors local agencies that demonstrate exceptional commitment to promoting and supporting breastfeeding through education, advocacy, and successful Peer Counselor Programs.

This achievement is a reflection of the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our WIC staff and Breastfeeding Peer Counselors, who provide invaluable support to mothers and families throughout the Brooklyn community. Your efforts continue to break down barriers, promote healthier beginnings, and make a lasting impact on the lives of those you serve.
We are especially proud that Brookdale WIC is among the distinguished New York State programs recognized this year. Thank you for your continued excellence and unwavering commitment to our families and community.

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!
