Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long announces purchase and distribution of baby formula for Del. families

DELAWARE – The State of Delaware has partnered with Donate Delaware to purchase 44,000 canisters of Care Infant Formula for Delaware families.

Families with a child under the age of one are eligible to receive one 28.2-ounce canister while supplies last. Canisters will be available for pickup starting tomorrow, February 2nd, at one of the distribution sites listed at the bottom of this article.

We’re told the formula will be distributed to high-needs areas throughout Delaware, identified by using data from the Division of Public Health’s Healthy Women, Healthy Babies program. Through the program, DPH has identified communities with high-risk indicators such as high infant mortality, high premature birth rates, and other factors that affect women’s health and birth outcomes.
