Formula is one of those costs that does not wait. When a family is stretched thin, it is often the first thing that becomes hard to cover, and there is no substitute for it.
My office is partnering with Operation HOPE North County is hosting a free infant formula giveaway in Vista, made possible by a donation from the Community Development Block Neighborhood Reinvestment Program and Supervisor Jim Desmond's District 5 office.

If your family needs formula, please stop by. There is no cost. Organizers ask that you register ahead of time using the QR code on the flyer so they can plan supply and serve as many families as possible, but come either way.
Questions can go to Operation HOPE North County at [email protected] or (760) 206-3470.
"No parent in North County should be rationing formula," said Supervisor Jim Desmond. "Operation HOPE does this work every day, and we were glad to help them get this out to families who need it."
