The California Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Association recently hosted a WIC Walks Challenge to kick off the new year.

Teams from WIC agencies across California joined the challenge with the Pacer pedometer app, which tracks your steps. The top teams received awards, along with top individual and social butterfly awards.

The Spring Valley team from the American Red Cross Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Program managed to place second statewide. They owed their success to the tiny habits they created as a team, like going for brief walks on their breaks and additional walks after work. Their tiny habits had a huge impact and sprung them to the second step of the statewide leaderboard.
