Vitamin Angels and Walgreens have announced the expansion of their prenatal pilot program to nearly 400 Walgreens stores nationwide, including a direct ship option in certain markets. The program provides free prenatal vitamins and nutrition education materials to pregnant people in underserved communities through participating Walgreens pharmacies. The prenatal vitamin pilot program originally launched in 2021 in select Walgreens stores across the South Side and West Side of Chicago and has reached over 1,200 pregnant people to date.

The expansion will bring the program to 12 additional markets across the U.S., and will further test distribution methods to determine the most effective ways to reduce barriers to accessing prenatal vitamins for pregnant people in need.
