Free infant formula is now available for families in Delaware who have infants under the age of 1 as part of the state's initiative to help families in need.
Canisters of Care A2+ are available thanks to the Food Bank of Delaware and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware.
“Families are grappling with a lot of stressors these days, and for many the rising cost of living is make or break. Our initiative to provide free infant formula is just one way to take the pressure off of family budgets and relieves the worry about what comes next,” Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long said.
Care A2+ was picked because it has similar ingredients to the popular brand Similac, the Division of Public Health said.
