About this update from Molina Healthcare Inc

HOLLAND, Mich., June 25, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Molina Healthcare of Michigan ("Molina"), in collaboration with The MolinaCares Accord ("MolinaCares"), announced three grants to local nonprofits to address food insecurity through food distribution programs, produce prescription initiatives, nutrition education, and cooking classes. The donations, totaling $85,000, have been awarded to Community Action House , Kids' Food Basket , and Momentum Center . The grants aim to reduce rising hunger in West Michigan. Over 1.5 million Michiganders are considered food insecure. Over 41,000 thousand of those are children under 17 years of age living in Ottawa, Allegan, Muskegon and Kent counties. The funds will be used for the following programs: Community Action House's Food Club and Opportunity Hub is an innovative food access model serving households across Ottawa and Allegan counties. Alongside direct healthy food access, Action House specializes in nutrition education and in developing partnerships with healthcare providers to leverage Food is Medicine interventions and help neighbors improve their health. "We're grateful for Molina's meaningful investment in our work and their commitment to positively impacting the communities they serve," said Chara Bouma-Prediger, director of food access programs, Community Action House. "Their partnership and financial support will provide vital health-related food and nutrition services in our community, particularly for neighbors managing chronic conditions and struggling to afford nutritious food." Kids' Food Basket is advancing healthcare-aligned solutions such as Healthy Food Packs and produce prescriptions—providing medically appropriate foods, nutrition education, and direct support to individuals experiencing food insecurity and nutrition-related health risks. "Molina's gift strengthens our food access programs, which deliver nutritious meals to thousands of West Michigan children each day, while also advancing our commitment to nutrition education and sustainably sourced food," said Bridget Clark Whitney, president and founding CEO, Kids' Food Basket. "By supporting partnerships with local farms and hands-on learning around healthy eating and agriculture, Molina is ensuring children and families have both the food and the knowledge they need to thrive." Momentum Center will address mental health concerns and social isolation through a monthly town hall series and Friendship Bench program, along with cooking classes focused on affordable and healthy dietary options that can be prepared at home. Momentum Center also offers free dinner and movie nights and operates a 24/7 food pantry.
