The in-take process averages less than 40 minutes for a first-time client visit.  For repeat clients, the process takes less than 15 minutes.

When a client comes in, they are given enough formula to provide 32 ounces per day of nutrition, for one week.  Four jars of strained vegetables and cereal are offered at 5 months.  Jars of strained fruits are added at 6 months and strained meats are added at 8-12 months.

Families can receive assistance up to six times before the child's first birthday.  To receive help you will need:

• Photo identification for the parent/caregiver
• Doctor's proof of need for specialized formulas (e.g. Nutramigen or Alimentum).
