LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles County has purchased $750,000 worth of baby formula to fight the current shortage, Supervisor Hilda L. Solis announced.
Solis said the first shipment is expected to arrive next week and will be distributed through the Department of Public Health's Nurse Family Partnership Program, which serves new parents through home visitation. "I want to thank our procurement team with the Internal Services Department for their commitment to locate and secure a supply of formula for the wellbeing of babies across the county -- a near-impossible task during this shortage," Solis said."We'll work with nonprofit agencies, health clinics and through the county's food distributions to ensure families and babies most in need receive it.
