Food '4' Thought is a drop-in program for pregnant women and new mothers below 26 years of age, operated at these 10 sites throughout Durham Region. *North Oshawa Site in new location*

Food '4' Thought drop-ins provide a safe, friendly environment where women can obtain advice from health care providers and other moms, get materials on health and wellness, and receive fresh fruit and vegetables, milk, and prenatal vitamins. The program goal is to enhance maternal and fetal health by reducing the risks for pregnant women who may have food security issues. Women may come to a site any time during their pregnancy and continue to receive support until their infants are 6 months of age. The program focuses on nutrition so as to reduce the incidence of low birth weight, increase the number of breastfeeding mothers, provide linkages to other community services and improve the health and well-being of moms.

Programming at each Food '4' Thought site is tailored to the needs of the participants and their particular community. Referrals to Food '4' Thought are not necessary.
