  • Human Services, Agriculture Secretaries Remind Pennsylvanians of Food Assistance Resources, Encourage Support of Charitable Food Networks: “Difficult circumstances created by the pandemic have not subsided, and many families around Pennsylvania still must endure challenges that come from COVID-19’s effect on food security,” said Secretary Miller. “Schools often provide at least one or two nutritious meals each day for students, but as summer continues and schools remain closed, students still need to eat breakfast and lunch.

We know that going without meals can jeopardize children’s health and development, and the Wolf Administration is committed to doing everything it can to support families and connect them with the resources they need to get through this trying time. We are incredibly grateful to programs like Power Packs Project for their commitment to the communities they serve.” Read more: https://dingo.telicon.com/PA/library/2020/2020080784.HTM

  • Department of Health: Take Proper Steps to Protect Yourself and Baby While Breastfeeding during COVID-19: “Breastmilk contains antibodies that fight infection and boost the baby’s immune system. If a mother or baby become sick, the best thing the mother can do is continue breastfeeding to provide her baby with human antibodies. Human milk is the safest food in an emergency, as it contains the proper vitamins and minerals for healthy growth in infants.” Breastfeeding mothers who have tested positive for COVID-19 and choose to breastfeed and/or express breast milk should:
    • Wear a cloth face covering while feeding and during expression of milk;
    • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before each feeding, before touching any pump or bottle parts, and before expressing breast milk;
    • Use a dedicated breast pump (not shared);
    • Follow recommendations for proper pump cleaning after each use; and
    • If possible, expressed breast milk should be fed to the infant by a healthy caregiver who does not have COVID-19, is not at high-risk for severe illness from COVID-19, and is living in the same home.
