Molina Healthcare of California donates $10,000 to downtown streets team

Molina Healthcare of California recently donated $10,000 and over 50 blankets to Downtown Streets Team (DST) to assist participants affected by recent floods in Sacramento.

As part of their Committed 2 Care volunteer work experience program, DST partners with unhoused individuals to beautify the communi- ty in exchange for case management, employment services, and noncash stipends for basic needs.

After recent storms created emergency conditions throughout the region, first responders performed water rescues along areas that regularly house numerous homeless encampments. Funds donatd by Molina will assist Committed 2 Care team members who are still experiencing the after-effects of the severe weather events.

“Molina is proud to partner with Downtown Streets Team,” said Abbie Totten, plan president of Molina Healthcare of California. “We are pleased to provide critical supplies to individuals in need who also work so hard to improve our local communities through the Committed to Care program.”

The MolinaCares Accord, in collaboration with Molina Healthcare of California, recently donated $80,000 to DST to support unhoused individuals in the program and community cleanup projects in Sacramento. “Our partnership with Molina is greatly valued as we are aligned in our combined efforts to make sure our communities are kept clean, safe, and that all of our neighbors have access to the health care they need, regardless of socioeconomic status,” said Heather Mundy, director of Sacramento and Yolo

Counties Downtown Streets Team. “Thank you, Molina, for leading the way in your commitment to caring for our community.”
